About SPS
Many of us live with a sense of unfinished business. We started college, but did not complete the bachelor's degree we intended to. More and more, adults are returning to college to fulfill their desire.
In fact, the number of adults attending college is greater than the number of traditional college students.
Why is this?
As adults, we want to achieve personal satisfaction, advance in our careers, or even change careers. We have discovered that we can succeed in college! Many have found the School of Professional Studies at William Jessup University (WJU) to be the answer to this desire to finish the quest for personal fulfillment and career success.
Discover today how the WJU School of Professional Studies can help you develop the tools needed to succeed! In the SPS you will garner a degree that has high academic standards interlaced with Biblical principles and you will share experiences with others in your cohort that time and again we hear are "life-changing" and "immensely rewarding."

Facilities that Inspire Learning
The School of Professional Studies provides state-of-the-art facilities for adult learning. Our classrooms are equipped with online computers, digital projectors, DVD players, and the ubiquitous Whiteboard.
In Rocklin and San Jose, our classrooms are especially equipped for mature learners. Rather than desks, we use office chairs and tables for increased space and collaboration. In addition to the classroom facilities, free campus-wide wifi and full library facilities (both hardcopy and Ebook resources) are also available.
Instruction is provided for students in the first class about how to best conduct research online, as well as how-to videos on the WJU Library website. Both sites provide computer lab facilities. Students may come anytime the lab is open to do online research, compose or print materials.
