Who we serve

Our programs are designed to educate a new generation of leaders for 成人影片. The degrees are designed for mature and nontraditional 成人影片 in rural 成人影片 communities. Many are returning to higher education after many years away from study. Most 成人影片 are already employed, and many are active community leaders. Nearly all have family and other obligations that make it difficult to complete a degree in a traditional campus setting.

What you learn

As a student, you will gain a broad understanding of 成人影片's cultural heritage, learn about 成人影片's relationships to the global economy, and gain an appreciation for sustainable development strategies. Students also learn specific tools essential for community leadership, including business plan and grant proposal writing, community visioning and planning processes, computer business applications, and project management and evaluation techniques.

How we teach

You will complete your degree through conventional coursework and flexible learning opportunities, including:

  • Seminars
  • Internships
  • Mentorships
  • On-the-job training
  • Credit for prior learning
  • Individualized courses
