Message from the President

Elon University’s graduate programs combine the best of the liberal arts and sciences with nationally recognized engaged learning opportunities that enable students to acquire the skills needed to reach professional goals. Elon is one of only seven private universities in the nation with accredited schools of law, business, communications, health sciences and education, along with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest and most prestigious academic honor society.

Each of our academically rigorous programs is stamped with Elon’s distinctive approach to learning that includes small classes, dedicated faculty scholars, and opportunities to gain practical experience in a university environment fully committed to inquiry and research.

• This year, the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, which offers the Master of Business Administration, will enroll its first class of Master of Science in Management students. The program combines graduate business courses with concentrations in organizational analytics and corporate communications. In addition, Elon’s MBA was recently named the #1 part-time program in the South and #5 in the nation by Bloomberg Businessweek.
• Elon’s newest school is the School of Health Sciences, which offers the Doctor of Physical Therapy program and a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies. These programs immerse students in rigorous science and research experiences and feature exceptional clinical practicums to reinforce classroom learning.
• The Master of Education program in the School of Education, the Master of Arts in Interactive Media in the School of Communications, and the MBA program feature study abroad components that provide students with global perspectives and opportunities.
• Elon’s School of Law offers a new curriculum that is highly experiential and positions students to excel in the rapidly evolving legal profession. Students gain foundational legal skills, work directly with clients, and are mentored by experienced lawyers in a nationally recognized preceptor program.

I welcome your interest in graduate education at Elon and hope you will give serious consideration to joining our community of scholars.

Sincerely,

Leo M. Lambert

President, Elon University
