“ I wanted a high-quality program from a reputable school, but I travel quite a bit as an auditor for Ernst & Young. My wife is attending the PhD program on campus, and I am studying online with the same expert faculty that she’s had in her classes. Even though the format or structures are diΩerent, the Claremont quality is there and you get the same degree as you would if attending in person.” Michael Munayco Student, MS in Information Systems & Technology online
