The ultimate judges of our programs are the people who have experienced them. This is what they say:

Damian E. Humphrey, BS ’07, says: "The College of Professional Studies’ organizational leadership program has allowed me to be a better-equipped leader by providing a combination of cutting-edge management applications, thought-provoking class discussions and the wealth of experiences from the other professionals participating in the classes. I would recommend this program and the classes offered in the CPS program to every leader in every industry."
Susan Trimarchi, BS ’07, says: “The CPS program has been a great educational opportunity and personal growth experience for me. I am very proud of my achievements at QU and appreciate the support and encouragement of the CPS faculty and staff throughout the program. They all demonstrate a sincere professional and personal commitment to help others succeed.”
Carolyn Venceslau, current student in the BS program, says: “The online courses coupled with the on-site classes have been enriching and fit nicely into my hectic work schedule. Because I travel weekly out of state, the ability to take courses online has been fantastic.”

Charles Griffin, BS ’07, says: “My degree from the College of Professional Studies has made new opportunities available to me – both professionally and educationally.”
James Korenkiewicz, current student in the MS program, says: “The College of Professional Studies presents us with the opportunity to learn new, state-of-the-art leadership techniques while at the same time, it helps us update skills we have learned over the years.”
Sonny Ruggiri, current student in the BS program, says: “At another university where I took online courses before transferring to Quinnipiac, I didn’t have the campus setting I now have. The blend of online courses with brick and mortar allows me the opportunity to meet my professors and classmates and explore other campus facilities. Coming to campus every fourth Saturday also breaks the monotony of online studying and gives me a true feeling of belonging to a university.”
A group of students in the MS program (Catherine Andersen, Daniel Dittmar, Michael Hallahan, Lisa Maloney, Joan Nolan and Tami Reilly)created such a bond that they wanted to comment as a group: “In the first class of the organizational leadership degree program, we were assigned to teams. We soon learned that the students in our team have diverse talents and backgrounds that range from healthcare operations, design, fitness instruction, marketing and finance….Sharing ideas and learning from peers who bring different insights makes the learning much more dynamic.”
