Training is offered in several academic and pre-professional programs. The academic areas are divided into the School of Liberal Arts; the School of Business, Mathematics, and Science; and the School of Professional Studies and Applied Sciences. The college offers four-year degrees as well as graduate programs leading to master’s degrees. Pre-professional training is offered for careers in medicine and law. The college closed its Honors Program in 2008 following a decline in interest and support.
