A Word from Our Dean

Welcome to the MET community,

Let me take a moment to encourage you to participate in the dynamic, energizing enterprise that is Metropolitan College (MET).

As you navigate your way through this site, you’ll quickly gain a sense of the scope of our online, on-campus, and blended program offerings. There really is something for everyone.  We have more programs, more students, and more full-time faculty than we’ve ever had before.

I’m proud to say that MET evolves and grows year by year. We measure this growth in the increasingly ambitious and sophisticated students who chose to study with us. We measure it in the way these students inspire our faculty to keep their classrooms professionally relevant and academically challenging. We measure it in our ability to innovate new learning formats by engaging the latest technology. We measure it in our capacity to introduce new and interdisciplinary programs that meet student needs. And we measure it in the recognition we receive for excellence—in curriculum design, in student services, in teaching, in scholarly activity.

We are driven, relentlessly, to continue our pattern of growth and improvement. As we see it, the best way to stay at the top is to set the standard for where the top is. MET’s trajectory in the coming years, like that of our students and alumni, can really only be described in one way: onward and upward.

I hope you’ll make this exciting journey with us,

Jay A. Halfond
