We offer a broad range of educational options to meet your goals, with more than 50 programs of study in liberal arts disciplines and in areas that are more tightly focused on a specific career field, such as health care, business, criminology, education, and many others.

Mount Aloysius is a comprehensive college with a full range of undergraduate and graduate programs designed to broaden your horizons and help you launch a rewarding career.

The emphasis is on hands-on experience, challenging class work and personal attention. Classes are small, so professors spend extra time with each student, and faculty advisors are available whenever you have a question or need a hand. Mount Aloysius College values a comprehensive and liberal arts education. Therefore, the College has developed Core Goals and Learning Outcomes as well as Core Course Requirements in both the Associate's and Bachelor's degrees for its matriculated students."

While preparing students for careers or advanced study, Mount Aloysius College recognizes the importance of a broad liberal arts education. Thus, in addition to solid preparation for a chosen career, every student at Mount Aloysius is provided the opportunity to experience the arts, the sciences, and the humanities. The College's distributive core of courses ensures that every Mount Aloysius student has a basic body of knowledge in preparation either fro a career or for further education.

The Center for Lifelong Learning is the office responsible for workforce development, accelerated degree completion, and summer school programs at Mount Aloysius College. Workforce development programs include associate and bachelor degree programs listed above, credit courses (including Act 48 Seminars), customized training programs, online non-credit courses, and continuing professional education courses (including the New Choices/New Options career development classes). While some programming is offered on campus, most workforce development programs are offered off-campus for the convenience of the local workforce.
