Patterson School students are noted for their drive and passion. Their determination to make a difference in the worlds leads many to seek careers in professions that, while exceedingly rewarding personally, may not always be the best financially. We believe decisions about whether to pursue a public service career, enter the armed forces, or advance the cause of an NGO should be driven by the heart, not the wallet. Our high-value, affordable education may offer our students greater professional latitude—and substantially less debt—upon graduation.
