Located in the beautiful Piedmont section of North Carolina,
Elon University has earned a regional and national reputation
for excellence both in undergraduate and graduate programs.
Academic innovation is the hallmark of an Elon education, and
the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of
Education (M.Ed.), Master of Arts in Interactive Media, Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Juris
Doctor (J.D.) programs exemplify Elon’s commitment to
combining a stimulating classroom environment with
opportunities to apply knowledge in a practical
setting.
MBA
In the Elon MBA program, graduate students develop
analytical and leadership skills. They learn the theories and
concepts inherent in the disciplines of accounting, business
administration and economics, and they prepare for business
careers requiring innovative leadership, a knowledge of
global markets and facility with sophisticated information
technology. The distinctive program includes the opportunity
to incorporate into their current work the skills and
concepts they learn in their graduate courses. The program
also includes a regularly scheduled international trip
exposing students to foreign markets and the global economy.
This program, designed to meet the needs of full-time working
professionals, is typically completed within 21 to 33
months.
M.Ed.
The M.Ed. program offers graduate licensure in elementary
education (K-6), special education (K-12) and gifted
education (K-12). In the M.Ed. program, students hone skills
for implementing appropriate instruction, differentiating
curriculum for special needs students, and planning and
conducting behavior management programs. While skill
development is an important aspect of the program, empowering
teachers to make professionally mature decisions and
developing collaborative leadership and research expertise
are emphasized. The M.Ed. Summer Cohort program provides
licensed teachers the opportunity to complete the degree in
just three summers. The Advanced Track option allows students
with degrees outside education to obtain initial and advanced
licensure in an integrated program.
DPT
Graduate students enrolled in the Doctor of Physical Therapy
program have unique opportunities to practice specific
learning objectives in a variety of clinical settings. The
partnership between Alamance Regional Medical Center and
Elon’s Department of Physical Therapy offers students a
wealth of clinical and research opportunities. The philosophy
of the DPT program emphasizes critical thinking, active
learning, strong clinical experiences, and inquiry-based
approaches to treatment and research. The program produces
graduates who are highly skilled clinician generalists and
compassionate individuals, well prepared for leadership as
key members of a health care team.
