land area residents will find the cam
pus to be a convenient and pleasant
location to pursue undergraduate and

Catering exclusively to working

to go back to school without inter
rupting their careers.
Students attend class one night a
week, begin a new class every five to
six weeks and meet with study groups
at their convenience to complete as
signments and group projects.
Classes are taught by working pro
fessionals with advanced degrees who
possess current experience in the sub
ject areas o f the courses they teach.
“W orking adult students demand
a greater level o f convenience than
