Today’s employers value leaders who can exercise influence, solve complex problems, build teams and execute sound judgment in an ethical manner that motivates productivity.
If you are looking to advance in your career but don't have the time to attend classes on a campus, check out our Online Organizational Management degree!

The unique format in our Graduate & Professional Studies program is designed to accommodate busy lifestyles allowing students to take one class at a time. Spread throughout four semesters, program participants can complete a total of 41 credits in 20 months! Courses are offered in sequence and range from 5-7 weeks in length.

The program is 100% online and is a bachelor degree completion program which means it is designed for those who already have an associate degree, or have completed at least 58 semester hours from another accredited institution.
Depending on where you are with your credits we could help you get started taking classes as soon as you are accepted!

IRS warning: Scam phone calls

The Internal Revenue Service issued a warning to taxpayers about bogus phone calls from IRS impersonators demanding payment for a non-existent tax, the “Federal Student Tax”.

Even though the tax deadline has come and gone, scammers continue to use varied strategies to trick people, in this case, students. In this newest twist, they try to convince people to wire money immediately to the scammer. If the victim does not fall quickly enough for this fake “federal student tax,” the scammer threatens to report the student to police.

The IRS urges taxpayers to stay vigilant against these calls and to know the telltale signs of a scam demanding payment.

The IRS will never:
• Call to demand immediate payment over the phone, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill.
• Threaten to immediately bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.
• Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe.
• Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card.
• Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.

If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and asking for money and you don’t owe taxes, here’s what you should do:
• Do not give out any information. Hang up immediately.
• Contact TIGTA to report the call. Use their IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting web page or call 800-366-4484
• Report it to the Federal Trade Commission by visiting www.FTC.gov and clicking on “File a Consumer Complaint.” Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” in the notes.
