Wilkes University Continues Partnership with ASBO MD&DC for School Business Master's Degree

For nearly three years, Wilkes University and the Association of School Business Officials, Maryland and the District of Columbia have partnered to offer a master of science degree in education with major in School Business Leadership. This online program is designed for working professionals managing the business of education, such as those working in transportation, food service, finance or public relations.

The 30-credit program consists of 10 courses that address school business issues related to finance, facilities, food service, human resources, information technology, public relations and transportation. Classes are held in 12-week sessions in fall, spring and summer semesters. The program can be completed in as little as two years.

Wilkes launched the program in 2007. To date, nearly 400 school business professionals have taken courses in the program from across the country.

"The things I learned were directly relevant to what I do every day, and it helped me to build a network of people who do what I do," said Michelle Smithmyer, Business Manager, Claysburg-Kimmel School District.
