Message from the Dean

Dear Students,

For four decades, Metropolitan College has stood for access, excellence, and innovation. More than twenty thousand MET alumni worldwide have had their lives transformed by their educational experience here—and now is your opportunity to join our next generation of graduates. I invite you to take a course or enroll in a degree program that will not only stretch your mind but improve your life. In our knowledge economy, what you know, how well you think, and how clearly you communicate will determine just how far you will go.

Learning is a commitment and graduation a major achievement. Higher education is not a spectator sport—your active engagement and drive to succeed will determine the quality of the learning experience for you and your fellow students. Metropolitan College is there for those who choose to return to school at pivotal points in their lives. Our students expect their education to be relevant to their needs and to make a difference in their futures. Metropolitan College is, to borrow a phrase, the stuff that dreams are made of.

We are prepared to be your partner on this journey as you realize your potential both personally and professionally. MET’s thirty-five full-time faculty and hundreds of practitioner faculty are committed to developing and teaching courses that are cutting-edge, engaging, and rigorous. A dynamic university-within-a-university, MET offers over seven hundred courses each year to more than four thousand students locally, nationally, and internationally. While you are here, you’ll meet a wide range of fellow students—of varying ages and cultural and professional backgrounds—who will help contribute to your educational experience.

I look forward to shaking your hand on stage at graduation when you, too, join Metropolitan College’s distinguished alumni community.

Sincerely,

Jay A. Halfond,
Dean
