A growing number of people are seeking to improve their marketability in order to succeed in a chosen profession. Employers across the nation recognize that the traditional model of completing one’s education before entering the work force has given way to lifelong learning.

As one of the largest part-time graduate schools in the country, Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry University provides high-quality, practitioner-oriented graduate management degree programs with an emphasis on excellence in teaching and service to working adults.

DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School offers master’s degree programs in business administration, accounting and financial management, human resource management, information systems management, network and communications management, project management and public administration. Undergraduate degree programs are also available at most locations.

At DeVry University’s Keller Graduate School, the practitioner orientation drives every aspect of learning, including the school’s online education offerings. Because KGSM students are working adults who bring their diverse experience to the classroom, they want relevant instruction. Keller Graduate School’s curricula are regularly reviewed for relevance to both students and employers. Critical competencies for today’s successful managers, in areas such as business communications, technology, ethics, quality and international business, are woven throughout the curricula.

DeVry University’s approach to distance learning integrates today’s high-tech capabilities with proven instructional methodologies. The result is solid education enhanced by the latest in interactive information technology – online class discussion groups, CDs, e-mail, online classroom lectures, additional Internet resources, as well as traditional textbooks – that enables students to send and receive feedback from instructors, as well as to participate in various group and team activities with fellow online students.

To accommodate the schedules of working adults, all administrative procedures, including registration, can be completed by telephone, via the Internet, by mail or in person before class or during class breaks. Staff members are available when students are present to provide advice or meet other school-related needs.

KGSM operates under a belief that working adult students are most productively served by faculty members who are experienced managers as well as effective communicators, coaches and mentors. Faculty members bring their expertise to the classroom, emphasizing theory and practices most beneficial to students.

Those who teach full time commit a substantial portion of their time to teaching and the curricula, while remaining actively involved in business as consultants. They also participate in a variety of professional organizations. The part-time faculty are full-time managers whose teaching provides vital professional enrichment by allowing them to interact with working adult students.

Because it operates sites nationwide, DeVry University also offers the flexibility of multiple locations. Students can attend classes at the center that is most convenient or that best suits their course needs. Also, they can transfer to another geographic area in which Keller Graduate School operates or complete their program or specific courses via distance learning, should relocation be necessary.
