Student Perspective

“If you’re thinking about it, do it. Sometimes it’s just that initial first step … . It’s a huge commitment but it’s enjoyable and you have to take the risk!”

Brenda Busch ’93
Current M.L.S. graduate student
Accounting, Bay Industries Inc.

Faculty Perspective

“Today’s employers expect both broad understanding and in-depth expertise. The M.L.S. degree expands on existing areas of experience to provide a wider perspective that adds value to any professional environment."
