Advancing Graduate andProfessional Education
The 2010-2011 academic year saw many innovations and new partnerships in graduate and professional education at Fordham.

There were updates and changes in degree offerings across the University, ranging from the development of an online master’s in social work to the launch of four new master’s programs in business, all of them attuned to new market demands. A reexamination of the doctorate in education took root, part of a nationwide effort to reassess the degree’s value. Meanwhile, Fordham forged new collaborations—within the University, and with universities in New York, across the country and abroad—to prepare students for today’s global economy and expand their opportunities for learning. Graduate programs grew more selective, improved their rankings, found inventive ways to raise their profiles, and revised their curriculums to stay abreast of new global realities.
