Dean's Message
"Now, as never before, credentialed further education in the form of an advanced degree or certificate translates into career opportunities and higher earnings that might otherwise prove elusive. Although I personally believe in the importance of learning for its own sake, there is no question that higher education is one investment that will continue to pay dividends over the duration of our working lives. And within the present context of our temporarily uncertain economy, it makes more sense than ever before to double-down in taking courses so as to quickly take advantage of the inevitable recovery."
