At Mount St. Mary's University, we realize the challenges you face on the job can enhance your learning in the classroom. That's why our accelerated undergraduate program in business is designed specifically for working adults. Because what you learn in the classroom today can help you solve a problem at work tomorrow.
The Division of Continuing Studies strives to make it easy for adults to go back to school on a part-time basis, holding classes in the evening one to two nights per week at our convenient Frederick campus. It's important to us that you feel supported, can maintain your work-life balance, and have access to all of the resources you need to be a successful student.
Our faculty and advisors are here to work one-on-one with you to develop your degree plan, and to help keep you on track to finish your degree. We make the traditional college resources available to you to aid in your success, such as our Career Center, Writing Center, Library and Learning Services Office, just to name a few.
