Courses will be offered in a flexible, seven-week minimester format, with evening and online options.
“The fact that students will be able to earn this interdisciplinary degree in Hinesville from start to finish, without travel to another campus, is extraordinary,” said Col. Pete Hoffman, director of the Armstrong Liberty Center.
Students will complete four core writing and management courses — professional communication strategies, technical editing, organizational communication in diverse contexts and leadership in the public arena — in addition to six electives.
