The Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Professional Development is a special graduate program designed to allow the college-trained person to expand his/her knowledge beyond the boundaries of traditional education. The program is intended for the student who has earned the bachelor's degree and seeks a terminal graduate degree that offers the broader educational experience not normally available through traditional programs. The degree is designed for those individuals who desire a learning experience which can be a helpful
resource in decision making, leadership, and personal growth. The curriculum is both broad and diversified, with major emphasis on the study of ideas. Courses include those which focus on the psychological, social, political, and business aspects of contemporary society. Essentially interdisciplinary and nonvocational, the Master of Arts in Professional Development does not emphasize specialization.
