Statement of Purpose

The Center for Professional and Continuing Studies exists to meet the educational needs of adult learners. As such it provides degree completion programs in business, criminal justice and elementary education and graduate degree programs to adults in central Maryland, offering courses at three satellite locations and on the main campus of Mount St. Mary’s University.

Programs in Professional and Continuing Studies capitalize on adult learners’ experiences and extend the mission of the university by incorporating the core values of faith, discovery, leadership and community in the curriculum of all of its programs.
