What makes King’s graduate programs different than other graduate programs?

We believe our focus on the issues that face urban communities is our key differentiating point.  Whether it is the issues and opportunities facing entrepreneurs in densely populated areas or safety and human service issues facing urban communities, the King Graduate School has a committed focus on these areas.

How long will it take to complete my Master’s degree program?

Both our MBA and M.S. in Criminal Justice can be completed in four semesters.  Because Monroe offers students the opportunity to take three complete semesters each year, students can complete their Master’s degree program in 16 months.

Can I complete my Master’s Degree program online?

Because many of our graduate students are working full time, many need the flexibility of online learning.  You can complete either your MBA or MS in Criminal Justice completely online through Monroe Online.  And because our online programs are taught by the same on-campus professors and our Academic calendars are completely aligned, students have the option of switching between on campus and online as the need arises.

Is the Master’s in Criminal Justice only for people who are interested in the uniformed services?

No.  The MS in Criminal Justice also appeals to students that are interested in Human Services.  In fact, Human Services as well as Community Development are two of three available concentrations in this program.

What can an MBA do for your career?

If you're looking for an MBA to help you get advance your career, it may be just the ticket you need. According to a study by Accountemps, a global temporary staffing service for accounting and finance professionals, 80 percent of executives responding to the survey said that a graduate degree in business is still important to reach senior management ranks within most companies.   And there is growing evidence that having an MBA not only gives you more leverage in dictating new job titles and salary, but also gives you leverage in achieving a better balance between work and life outside work.
