“These programs have been thoughtfully designed to provide a focused, rigorous graduate education that meets the needs of today’s learners and employers,” Merodie Hancock, president of TESU, said. “Our students will be able to earn valuable graduate degrees more efficiently while developing the knowledge and skills they need to advance in their careers.”
