Although many classes are online, the professors are very helpful, flexible, communicative, and understand students’ needs."

Featured AlumEmma Kerstetter '21, g '22
Master of Accounting"The Juniata Grad program is super flexible. It allows for students to work full time or study for certification exams while still gaining an education. The 8-week structure is fast-paced and challenging, but allows the program to be completed in under a year if desired."
