Crystal Crawford

This is a great program for working professionals. The professors are very knowledgeable and genuinely care about your success.

Marc Flores

Thank you for the opportunity to go to school in the evening. I work at night so classes in the evenings really work out for me. Also I came out of the military not knowing what major to pick, the USF counselor guided me to a major that helped me out the most. Thank you.

The applied economics program has given me a new perspective in the way the world works. The financial rules of the game can be different from country to country. Knowing the impact domestic or international trend can have on my personal life gives me confidence and leverage in my career.

I just wanted to tell you how happy and impressed I was with the curriculum with the College of Professional Studies at the University of San Francisco. Everything from the ordering of the classes, the relevancy of the material taught and the experience of the professors was impeccable.

With a demanding professional career, traditional institutions would not fit my schedule. I carefully researched the options available for me to complete college, and found that USF’s College of Professional Studies seemed to be the highest quality program being offered to working professionals in Northern California.

Although it was a bit challenging at times to balance college, work and family; the support I received from my professors and my cohort enabled me to complete my degree in less than two years, and I have to say, my expectations were far exceeded. For example, I thought initially that I would receive less of an education in an evening program, but it was really quite the opposite. The smaller classroom environment allowed me to ask my professor more questions than I would have been able to in a larger class. Also, because each member of the cohort began and ended the program together, everyone was very supportive and helpful to one another.

USF’s staff was completely assessable and 100% supportive. Most professors were available in the evenings or on the weekends if needed! It was clear to me that the staff at USF really cared for their students.

I will be applying to business school this fall and believe that the CPS program at USF has prepared me for my graduate studies and for my professional career. I would recommend this program to any working professional seeking to advance in academia or professionally.

Learning as a cohort for 23 months is a good learning experience. I think the experience in a CPS program is very similar to a real work experience rather than academic. I would like to see more learning and research similar to a traditional undergraduate college.
