School of Professional Studies: Undergraduate & Graduate
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
