Program Description

The Adult, Workforce, and Continuing Professional Education program is one-of-a-kind as its primary commitment is to part-time students who are full-time working professionals. Full-time students are eligible for consideration to receive full funding through scholarships, fellowships and research and teaching assistantships, which allow our students to work with top faculty on cutting-edge projects. To meet the needs of full- and part-time students, most courses are offered once a week during late afternoon or evening hours. Some courses are regularly available during summer sessions and weekends and through distance education technologies. The Master of Adult, Workforce, and Continuing Professional Education program provides opportunities to specialize in one of four areas: Training and Development, Adult and Continuing Professional Education, Community College Teaching, or Health Professions Education. 

Applications for admission are submitted through the Graduate School, accepted year-round and are applicable for the first available term. We accept students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.  To qualify for admission, applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education in any field.  International applicants must also have a TOEFL score of 100 or higher.  Admission decisions are based on several criteria, including undergraduate GPA, work history and interest in the field.
