AUK, in partnership with the Rochester Institute of Technology, offers graduate programs leading to the degree of Master of Science (M.S.) in Professional Studies. 

The M.S. in Professional Studies degree fills an emerging need in the many businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations that require an interdisciplinary workforce with skills ranging from project management, problem solving, customer relations, asset management, human capital planning, project finance, supply and demand forecasting, and policy development and implementation. Both the private and public sector organizations will find this program in tune with their strategic goals for employee development.

This program gives individual students access to the expertise of RIT professors and the benefit of earning a graduate degree from an accredited university in the U.S. This is an intensive program consisting of 11 courses conducted over a 17 month period and an independent applied or theoretical capstone project. It is designed to enhance the continued lifelong learning and career development of executives and mid-level professionals without disruption of employment. Courses are taught in a combination of evening sessions in an executive style format by RIT professors. This flexible scheduling promotes maximum learning with minimum time away from work.
All courses are taught by RIT professors with years of academic and industry expertise. Also, by collaborating with your colleagues in the classroom, you’ll develop valuable friendships and establish a network of lifelong contacts. Even before you finish your degree, you’ll be ready to expand your responsibilities in your organization and get to where you want to go professionally.
