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 mature 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.

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 networked and online computers, data projectors, video players, DVD players, and the ubiquitous Whiteboard.

In Rocklin and San Jose, classrooms are especially equipped for adult learners. Rather than desks, we use office chairs and tables. In addition to the classroom facilities library facilities are also available.

While hard-copy books are available through our Rocklin campus library, most of the library work required in the program can be done online. Instruction is provided for students in the first class about how to do this research online. Both the San Jose and Sacramento sites provide free wireless Internet access for students and faculty.

Both sites provide computer lab facilities. Students may come in during the day before class to do online research, compose or print materials.
