Why Kennedy Western University
Kennedy-Western's programs are oriented toward the mid-career adult
and working professional.
Distance-learning is clearly an accepted form of cost-effective
education for working professionals. The growth and importance of
the Internet is furthering the distance-learning concept daily and
making independent study education accessible to more and more individuals.
Employers are aware of the fact that attending a classroom university
is not possible for a significant number of their workforce, yet
they recognize the corporate benefits that a career-related degree
program can bring to their employees. For this reason over 800 companies,
such as Hewlett-Packard, 3M, General Electric and General Motors,
pay for all or a portion of their employees' tuition at Kennedy-Western
University.
Not only do Kennedy-Western students receive thorough study materials,
but if they have questions, both the faculty and the Kennedy-Western
Student Services staff are available to help. Students can contact
the Student Services Department Monday through Friday for tutorial
assistance from a wide network of faculty advisors.

universities throughout the country. All of Kennedy-Western University's
