I believe the COS program is an excellent way for adult students to return to college to complete a Bachelor of Science degree. The classes are filled with learning and experinces that cause you to think and grow personally and professionally. It is amazing and wonderful to see students' self-esteem and confidence grow as they progress through the program. For me personally the program allowed me to soar to new heights of academic inquiry and to experince new insights and perspectives, while completing a degree which was not possible when I was younger.

The Career & Organizational Studies Program uses unprecedented methods of experiental and accelerated learning. The professors are the best you'll find anywhere. The content of a COS course is not just learned; it's experienced!
- Jeff Hesser

The COS program really caters to the adult learner. All of the professors seem very open to the need of the "over 25" crowd. There is a great deal of emphasis on small group dynamics as a means of sharing experinces and learning form each other.

The Career & Organizational Studies Program has an impact on my professional growth by giving me the tools to grow in marketing and earn a raise in my current career.  I have also been given the chance to move up in my career due to my new capabilities that I have learned in my COS classes.

When I decided to go back to school, I chose the COS Program because of its credibility, reputation, convenience, geographic location, and applicability. I knew the program would help me stay abreast of current business practices and the courses would be taught by well trained instructors who know how to connect with students as “real people”.
