In addition, various courses and educational opportunities for students of all ages are also offered on the Longview campus to earn continuing education credit and enhance lifelong learning knowledge and skills. All students progress as a cohort group together through the program for faculty and peer learning.
Students meet for classes once a week during a four-hour block of evening instruction.
In addition, students meet in study group activities for four additional hours during the week. A cohort group of students may begin any time during the year when 16 to 22 students are ready to start the program. Study Groups Students are divided into study groups for courses to enhance learning and to simulate the use of teams in the business world. Participation in study groups facilitates peer learning and leadership and is required weekly for approximately four hours to complete case study assignments, projects, and preparation for class presentations. The mission of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies is to support and extend the university mission by providing lifelong learning opportunities for students of all ages, in both traditional and nontraditional formats.
