Continuing Education Programs(Not for Credit)Summer 2012CE_00155_0412


A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTOur primary goal is to provide students with marketable skills leadingto employment. Certainly, that means the technical skills and knowledgerequired in the career field chosen by the student. Our hands-on courseworkand combination of academic and real-world instruction provide those skills.Marketable skills encompass more. Employers also expect technical competencewhile demanding good communication skills, teamwork, positive attitudes,high performance standards, and a willingness to accept responsibility in theworkplace. In order to provide these equally necessary marketable skills, weintegrate communication opportunities in all of our courses and encourage teaminvolvement whenever appropriate. We also demonstrate and emphasize theseperformance standards to our students by requiring completion of a workplacerelatedproject for appraisal.At <strong>Herzing</strong> <strong>University</strong> students not only learn the technical and business skillsrequired in professional occupations, they are also expected to develop essentialwork habits. Consequently, we stress the importance of attendance as an integralelement of a complete education and as an important work habit to develop.Important work habits include responsibility and reliability, and attendance inclass is a major factor in both these areas. Further, class attendance benefitsthe student through increased opportunity for learning, added success of teamexperiences, and demonstrated respect for the instructor and fellow students.At <strong>Herzing</strong> <strong>University</strong>, we believe in student service. We are focused on providingall that we can to help students graduate, attain their career objectives, andfulfill their goals. We stand ready and able to demonstrate our commitment toyour success.Yours truly,Renée <strong>Herzing</strong>PresidentMISSION STATEMENTIt is the mission of <strong>Herzing</strong> <strong>University</strong> to provide high-quality undergraduate and graduate degrees and diploma programs toprepare a diverse and geographically distributed student population to meet the needs of employers in technology, business,healthcare (including social work), design, and public safety.
