Graduate education in the United States is an ever-evolving enterprise, and California University of Pennsylvania is on the crest of that evolution. I am proud of our curricular offerings, as well as our diverse modes of delivery. The heart of our School of Graduate Studies and Research is still in the traditional face-to-face programs at our main campus and Southpointe Center; however, growth in our online programs has been very strong. Since these programs, offered under the banner of Cal U Global Online – CalU GO – are 100 percent online, many of our students now have the opportunity to participate in high-quality master's degree programs when it may have seemed impossible to do so just a few short years ago. 

This University provides master's degrees in a variety of fields. As you peruse this catalog, you will see the richness of the full graduate curriculum. Our faculty members are dedicated to providing graduate students with challenging and cutting-edge experiences.

A graduate education must help students evolve from being consumers of knowledge to critical evaluators of knowledge to, finally, producers of new knowledge. Each academic program offered by our graduate school is designed to develop the skills necessary to have our students progress in this way. I am confident that each graduate will obtain the skills necessary to be an effective lifelong learner and will be prepared to become a leader in his or her chosen field.

I hope this catalog will provide an effective set of guideposts, helping you to locate a graduate program that meets your individual needs. We at the University stand ready to help you reach your educational goals.

Sincerely,

Angelo Armenti, Jr.
