Cornerstone University’s mission is to provide students with empowering educational programs that offer relevant, practical information grounded in an ethical Christ-centered worldview.

Our Professional & Graduate Studies (PGS) program extends that mission to adult learners who want to:

• Complete a degree program in their current field
• Extend and deepen their professional knowledge
• Prepare the ground for a career path change through further education

PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAMS DESIGNED FOR YOU

Programs in the Cornerstone University’s PGS are designed to meet the needs of working students. Our undergraduate and graduate degree programs are:

• Practical and Relevant: Curriculum topics mirror real-world concerns. Small-group collaborative exercises reflect real-world working practices. Use tomorrow in the workplace what you learn today on-location.
• Convenient: Evening classes meet once a week at times designed to mesh with work schedules. Multiple locations throughout Michigan make it easier to get to class. And online learning options give you even more flexibility.
• Accelerated: Many of Cornerstone University’s PGS programs are designed to fit into intense schedules, meaning you can graduate sooner and put your new qualification to work for you.
