College of Professional Studies


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges and Departments

The mission of the College of Professional Studies is to prepare you for a meaningful career in business, engineering technologies, health sciences, or sports studies. We are also committed to providing the practical and theoretical background that enables your success in advanced educational programs.

Courses taught in professional studies combine hands-on learning experiences, based on guided professional practice. Many courses are conducted in on-campus laboratories that simulate the career or industrial settings in which you will work after graduation. Others, especially in the health sciences, are taught in off-campus, clinical settings, where you experience interactions with clients first hand.

Students in professional studies also take courses offered by the College of Arts and Sciences. Many of these are career oriented, while some—especially in the General Education Program—are required of all university graduates.

Reputation for Excellence

Employers of our graduates consistently give high marks and excellent reviews to Shawnee State’s professional studies programs, and many of our students are now successfully pursuing graduate level work or have entered professional schools. Our students’ performances on national and licensure exams are excellent; well above national averages. The College of Professional Studies continues to enhance this reputation for excellence.

Faculty

Faculty in professional studies are experienced and academically credentialed or certified by appropriate professional associations in their career fields. Moreover, our faculty are committed to your success in the college classroom and in your career beyond Shawnee State University.

Commitment to the Future

In addition to the degree programs listed on the previous page, the College of Professional Studies is currently seeking approval for other academic programs that address the educational needs of students and the employment needs of business, industry, and health care. Just as we survey employers to determine employment needs for the future, we also ask you to inform us of your educational and occupational goals so that we can become an active partner in the pursuit of those goals.

If the College of Professional Studies does not currently offer a degree that meets your needs, you may design, with the help of your academic advisor, an associate’s or bachelor’s of individualized studies degree which includes two or more subject areas of interest to you.

We are proud of our graduates’ success. Your participation and ideas contribute to our tradition of excellence.

Double Major Guidelines

The completion of at least one major is required for a baccalaureate degree. The completion of a second major is an option which any College of Professional Studies student may elect. If you wish to pursue more than one major, you must consult with the appropriate department chairperson(s) or dean.

  • The two majors must be in different subject matters.
  • Each major must meet all the requirements set by the College of Professional Studies and the department offering the major.
  • Each major must contain at least 30 hours not found in the other major.
