The new master s degree is the latest program addition to ADEP, which since the fall of 2000 has offered three bachelor s programs in St. Paul. The Master s program in Management prepares individuals for positions of professional leadership, said Collette Garrity, associate vice president for Extended Studies at St. Scholastica. It s designed for the motivated student who wants to complete the course work in one year. The Master s in Management classes are conducted in the evening. Six terms will be offered a year, each term eight weeks in length.
Students can take one or two classes each term.
Each eight-week class will meet for four hours a week. At least half of the class time will involve the application of specific theories for each course. In the final session there will be a capstone project that allows students to apply all of the various skills developed as a result of this program. This program is designed to produce results, Garrity said. Our graduates will be able to show that they know management theory and how to put it into practice.
