Who Should Apply?

The Professional MS program is designed for adults who are ready to take the next step in building their human capital by earning their master's degree. You might be asking yourself,  “Why should I take the time, effort and money to get a Master of Science degree instead of a certificate?”

Here are a few reasons why:

• A bachelor’s degree is the new high school diploma.
• A master’s degree (MS) sets you apart. Only 14% of American adults have an advanced degree, which makes you an ideal candidate for career advancement and leadership.
• The hybrid modality allows you the accountability you would get from a traditional on-campus program with the flexibility of an online program.
