Graduate study should work with your life, not against it.
Dr. Shannon Risk, Director of the M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies & DEMNS, explains how the program is designed for working professionals. Many students balance full-time careers, families, and other responsibilities. Course structure and delivery reflect that reality.
The goal is to provide meaningful academic advancement while strengthening professional networks and expanding expertise in the field.
Professional growth can continue without putting life on hold.
