The Adult and Continuing Education Division officially changed its name to the Center for Professional and Graduate Studies July 30. The name was changed to better reflect the degree programs and students which we are serving.

Also on July 30, the Center announced the launch of a new master's degree. The Master of Science in Organizational Leadership is an interdisciplinary program that directs the exploration of contemporary organizational development. The 22-month program offers instruction in a modular, cohort format with formal class meetings integrated with out-of-class readings. Information sessions regarding the degree program will be offered on Aug. 21 and Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. in Donahue Hall, Room 129.

As we begin a new academic year, we are anxious to welcome our new and returning students in all the online and on-campus degree programs.
