Relevant Education
Business and governments evolve, and so do we. The programs we offer are constantly updated to reflect current trends and practices, giving you the most relevant know-how.
For example, our long time leadership in accounting has allowed us to meet the extraordinary growth in demand at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In our MA in psychology degree program, we have two new concentrations: one that combines marriage and family therapy with industrial/organizational psychology, or one that combines counseling and industrial/organizational psychology.
Technology and technology governance have become integral to business strategy and operations. This increasing integration of business and information technology requires flexible professionals who can understand as well as manage the wide range of technology issues and tools that drive the contemporary enterprise.
In our information technology management program we have met the convergence of technology and business by offering an undergraduate degree and a master’s degree. These degrees in information technology management offer you the opportunity to gain expertise in the interrelated areas of information technology, network and telecommunications development, application development and management. The MS in information technology management degree embraces the convergence of people, business and information technologies by giving you a broad managerial focus on the full range of IT architecture, infrastructure, platforms and applications in use today.
Consistent with our focus on business-professional education, we also offer the only doctoral program for working professionals in the Bay Area.
We also encourage you to participate in appropriate internship programs as a way to bring more professionally focused practice into
