Message from the Dean


McDaniel College boasts a rich history of helping students meet their academic and professional goals. We in Graduate and Professional Studies draw from that experience everyday in preparing individuals to serve their community.

Experience is important, but we cannot live in the past. We owe it to our students to look forward, growing Graduate and Professional Studies to address our changing world. Our new economy places a greater emphasis on careers in community service, and we continue to refine McDaniel’s postgraduate programs to fill those shifting needs.

Together with community partners, we have made significant investments in our shared future. Through a recent grant from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, McDaniel established a new Center for the Study of Aging, offering graduate and continuing education programs designed to meet the challenges of our nation’s aging population.

We bolstered our respected programs in K-12 education, making them more convenient and accessible. Graduate and Professional Studies now teams with schools throughout our region to develop courses specifically-designed for existing and prospective teachers and administrators in their home districts, and we offer more courses online.

Today, students in our Human Resources Development program take advantage of satellite offerings in the Baltimore/Washington corridor, reaching professionals right where they live and work.

These are just a few examples of the recent developments in our 15 programs throughout Graduate and Professional Studies. All of our efforts, traditional and new, are designed to give students a solid foundation in the theory, research and practice of their respective disciplines. Small classes mean members of our faculty provide the individual attention students deserve.

We want to help put your education to work for you today and the years to come. Please take the opportunity to explore the catalogue, our website and the campus to discover what Graduate and Professional Studies at McDaniel can do for you and your future.
