- Is a doctoral degree the bridge to your ultimate professional goal?
- Is this the level of knowledge and skills you need to go beyond "succeeding" to "leading"?
- Do you value working and learning with colleagues who are guiding organizations of all kinds throughout the community?
If your answer is "yes," you will find many likeminded, committed leaders at Saint Mary's University of Minnesota.
