Department of Professional Studies
The Department of Professional Studies at George Fox University offers five majors and four minors to adult students who are returning to college to complete their undergraduate degree.
The majors are unique alternatives to the traditional method of pursuing a college degree. Courses are designed to meet the needs and learning styles of working adults. Classes are conveniently located and meet one night each week, as well as online.
Students study with other adults who share similar interests and concerns. Together they form an academic learning community, drawing from their own personal, professional, and technical backgrounds as they follow an intense program of classes and individual study.
Students who successfully complete the courses of their major program and the accompanying degree requirements are granted either a bachelor of science degree in technology management (TMGT) or project management (MPJM), or a bachelor of arts degree in social and behavioral studies (MSBS), management and organizational leadership (MGOL), or healthcare administration (MGHA).
Through these programs, the Department of Professional Studies serves the needs of adult learners and helps them assess personal values, develop interpersonal skills, and enhance competencies in order to better contribute to the organizations and individuals they seek to serve.
