DeSales University continues its educational mission to be as accessible as possible, especially for post-graduates looking to bolster their careers. The DeSales MBA program, for example, is noted for its comprehensiveness and quality — so much so that U.S. News & World Report ranked it as a top performer among online programs.

Best, eager career-advancers can include this verification of educational depth to their résumés in as little as a year.

To provide prospective students with a first-hand look at this advanced degree’s particulars, the university is holding a sample class.

It’s a no-obligation opportunity to test drive what may be the most important asset a professional can have in today’s workforce.

The session is Aug. 4 at 6:00 p.m., on campus in Center Valley or online.

More on this opportunity is online.

Also for busy businesspeople, DeSales has a new series of one-credit courses from its MBA catalogue.

These quick-hit — but in-depth — sessions consists of 14 class hours scheduled over two weekends in both live and synchronous (via Zoom) formats.

Better still, at only $880 each, they are one-third less the cost of a three-credit course. And alumni can access them at an additional 20 percent discount.

The two classes coming this fall are:

• Navigating Difficult Conversations, Sept. 10 and 17, an experiential presentation that uses personal reflection and practice to bolster the ability to handle challenging conversations
• Analysis with Microsoft Power BI, Oct. 15 and 22, a presentation of the advanced analytics that lead to important insights, data into breakthroughs, business problem solutions, and real-time understanding of key performance indicators

Next year’s roster of one-credit coursework includes topics such as cryptocurrency, economic training, and everyday project management and consulting.
