School of Professional Studies: Graduate Programs

Structured to Meet the Needs of Busy, Working Adults

Rosemont recognizes that learning takes place both inside and outside of the classroom and that adult college students already have valuable life and work experience. Not only does this help in the classroom, but under the School of Professional Studies graduate or undergraduate programs, it may reduce the courses you need to take to complete your degree.

At Rosemont, we recognize the challenges adult learners encounter, which is why we offer flexible advanced degree options to support your educational growth. Our advisors are specifically trained to assist busy, working adults, while our faculty members go beyond traditional teaching; they also actively work in their respective fields, bringing real world experience into the classroom.

At every level, Rosemont is designed to provide unparalleled support to propel both you and your career forward with a graduate degree or certificate. Our graduate classes commence at six different times throughout the year and are available in various formats, including:

• • Accelerated 7 week semester online programs
  • Online undergraduate degrees
  • Online graduate degrees
  • Online stackable undergraduate credentials
  • Online and stackable graduate certificates

Graduate Studies: Post Bacc Certifications

At Rosemont, we understand the complex world of education. In fact, all graduate education programs are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. While an online MA in Education is the perfect steppingstone for many, we understand that depending on your desired career trajectory, you may require unique training and certifications. This is why Rosemont offers many opportunities for educators to enhance their credentials through graduate programs and certifications. In some cases, students may choose to pursue certification without obtaining a master’s degree. Contact the Director of Education Studies for details.

At Rosemont, we believe that no matter what discipline you study, effective communication and problem solving are cornerstones of success. That’s why students take classes across multiple disciplines—to learn to approach complex situations from multiple angles. We also recognize the importance of real world experience in preparing you for a career. In fact, every Undergraduate College student engages in at least one internship, volunteer effort, or service learning opportunity.
