School of Professional Studies
At the School of Professional Studies, the emphasis is on “professional.” We have recruited top-quality faculty who provide a balance between advanced academic achievement and the practical, real-world knowledge that comes from working in the field you’re teaching. Faculty members include mayors, a district attorney, and a town manager, as well as information technology and communication professionals. They also have plenty of teaching experience, so they’re professional teachers as well.
