Drake Online Programs has successfully completed its first semester with 27 new students enrolled in classes. We have more students starting this summer, including in four new online classes, which started this month. We are well above our projected enrollment numbers and are excited to see what summer and fall bring.

Continuing our growth and momentum, two more graduate degrees—The Master of Business Administration and Master of Public Administration—launched earlier this month. Digital marketing campaigns and social media ads to promote the programs were also rolled out. You can find more information on these two programs on our website under the programs tab. Many thanks to the faculty and staff of the College of Business and Public Administration for their efforts at getting these programs ready for students.

Remember that you can visit with Online Programs to discuss and ask questions regarding the programs at the Olmsted coffee shop on the third Thursday of every month between 1 and 2 p.m. If that time doesn’t work, please contact Christina Trombley at christina.trombley@drake.edu or extension 2506.
