Alexandra Gregory, DMA Dean of the School of the Professions

Welcome to the School of Graduate Studies
& Adult Education. Our programs serve busy, working adults who want to advance in their careers. Our programs are designed to develop adult learners as ethical, committed professionals who are grounded in both theory and practice, and who can apply knowledge effectively and competently as practitioners in their fields. Our faculty members are committed to student success and value the life and career experiences which adult learners bring to the classroom.

Whether you're pursuing a graduate degree, completing an undergraduate degree, or completing a professional certificate, you'll find that a La Roche education can make a difference in your life. I invite you to come and visit us at La Roche. Meet our faculty, students and staff, and find out for yourself what we mean when we say we want our graduates to be “the best for the world.”
