Customized Program of Study

An optional focus area is available for students who have clearly defined career goals and a desire to tailor their program of studies to those goals. Programs are worked out in consultation with an advisor. The program of study includes specific courses common to the other program tracks, but provides for maximum flexibility in selection of focus and foundational courses. Examples of career tracks include health care, adult literacy and basic education, leadership of volunteer programs, nonprofit organizational leadership, leadership of youth serving organizations, and directing programs for older adults.
