Welcome to the Mount’s Division of Graduate, Continuing, and Professional Studies. We are honored to have you here. We began serving working adult students with convenient evening or online classes in Frederick, MD in 1999. For almost 20 years, we have been providing opportunities for adult students to achieve their higher education dreams! Whether you are a graduate or undergraduate student, you will find here a dynamic intersection of education and the real world. Some of our faculty are full-time university professors, while others are working professionals in their chosen careers by day and professors here by night. This combination helps students not only learn the concepts in their field of interest but also see how theory fits into concrete experience. We hope students will apply what they learn in our classrooms tonight in their workplaces tomorrow. We invite you to join us in writing the next chapter in our story … and yours.
