Non-Degree Programs
If you are seeking professional development, various opportunities are open to you:
Program Design
Every student is unique, and so is every student's experience in a graduate program. Because of that, we give every student the ability to profit from a graduate program that is unique as well. Here you’ll be able to lay the foundations for a career in teaching and research. You can prepare yourself for leadership positions in government, business, or nonprofit organizations. If you want to, you can take courses in management at the Drucker School, in applied economics at the School of Politics and Economics, and in the information revolution at the School of Information Systems and Technology.
In graduate school you will continue to grow as a person and a scholar—maybe even changing your career goals along the way. At CGU, you will be able to tailor your curriculum to your specific passions and abilities. The result of this tailored, flexible curriculum: you’ll have more options. You’ll be equipped to evaluate what works and what doesn’t, in addressing some of our world’s most important problems. You’ll be ready to do path-breaking research. And as a graduate, you’ll be sought after for a variety of rewarding career opportunities.
If you’re pursuing the doctoral degree, you’ll join Ph.D. students from eight different graduate schools in CGU’s unique transdisciplinary core course. Here you’ll work with other doctoral students ranging from mathematics and philosophy. Together with a team of CGU professors, you’ll explore how transdisciplinary research can unlock important research questions.
