· Equip students with a complete body of current theories that are operative in the working environment;

Hundreds of corporations have evaluated Kennedy-Western’s degree programs through their personnel and employee relations departments, and have recognized the work toward the degree for advancement, salary increases and entry qualifications for new positions.
