Registration Starts June 15 for School of Graduate and Professional Studies Classes

Takoma Park, Md. (June 4, 2015) Registration starts June 15 for fall classes offered by Washington Adventist University’s School of Graduate and Professional Studies.  The SGPS provides eight graduate and 11 undergraduate degree programs, offering classes on weeknights and Sunday afternoons.

“The SGPS accommodates the needs of busy, working adults,” said SGPS Dean Nicole Currier.  “Our classes are small, parking and public transportation are convenient, and we are ever mindful of our students’ goals, their budgets and their time.  We also help our students maintain a healthy work/life balance while they expand their education and boost their career options.”

Although registration has already started for the second session of SGPS summer classes, which start the week of July 5-9, it’s still not too late to register and get a head start on the fall.

Staff is on hand from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday – Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to noon on Friday to discuss course options, answer questions and help students register. They can be reached at 301-891-4092. Information about the various degree programs can be found on the SGPS website .
