Western Michigan University will begin offering master’s level courses at WMU Cooley Law School campuses in Auburn Hills, Lansing and Tampa Bay, Florida.
A partner in an affiliation agreement that led to the naming of the Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2014, the university will begin full course offerings for programs on the law school’s campuses this fall.
On Sept. 5, the first cohorts will begin at the new locations with programs that will be offered using a hybrid format with no more than three face-to-face class meetings per month and the remaining course work completed online.
Programs being offered include:
• A Master of Arts in organizational change leadership at WMU Cooley in Auburn Hills.
• A Master of Public Administration at WMU Cooley in Lansing.
• A Master of Science in engineering management at WMU Cooley in Tampa Bay.
“Our program offerings in Auburn Hills, Lansing, and Tampa Bay have been developed for specific needs in each region,” says WMU’s Dr. Dawn Gaymer, associate provost for extended university programs.
WMU is committed “to offering master’s level programs for working professionals, and our hybrid format helps individuals achieve their educational goals while maintaining a career,” r said.
WMU-Auburn Hills is sharing facilities with WMU Cooley’s campus, located at 2630 Featherstone Road.
WMU-Lansing will now be housed at the law school’s 10-story downtown building, located at 300 South Capitol Ave.
WMU-Tampa Bay is at the law school’s campus located at 9445 Camden Field Pkwy in Riverview near downtown Tampa.
“We are proud to deepen our affiliation with Western Michigan University by sharing educational facilities in these key regions,” says WMU Cooley Associate Dean Nelson Miller. He said a shared facilities plan was part of the original affiliation agreement.
WMU’s Master of Public Administration program being offered through WMU-Lansing provides a foundation in the principles of public administration, addresses the practical responsibilities of the public manager and reflects on the task of administrative leadership.
The MPA curriculum emphasizes evaluating the administrative environment and addresses the economic, cultural, historical and political environment in which a student's agency operates.
WMU’s Master of Arts in organizational change leadership is a human resource development program offered at WMU-Auburn Hills in an accelerated format.
The 33-credit accelerated program format provides students with an opportunity to complete the program in five semesters while meeting only one Saturday per month each semester.
The Master of Science in engineering management is a 30-credit graduate hybrid program of regularly scheduled online instruction with face-to-face meetings three weekends per semester at WMU-Tampa Bay.
Students can complete the degree in two years.
The master’s in engineering management has been developed to meet industry demands for professional leaders and decision-makers in manufacturing, process engineering and service operations.
Some course offerings include concepts and principles of engineering management, capital budgeting, project management and production and quality management.
Upon completion of the program, students will earn certifications from the American Society for Engineering Management, the Project Management Institute, and the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
