Trend: The Master's Alternative

For some students, a one-year master's degree program in law may be better than a J.D.


The National Jurist's preLaw magazine features Dean Andrew Strauss talking about the benefits of the University of Dayton's Online Government Contracting & Project Management Program.


He explains how “government contracting is a niche area that provides well-paying jobs, good benefits, and—especially if you’re employed by the government—a nice work-life balance.”


We couldn't agree more, Dean Strauss! Check out the full article for the feature.

 

New Faculty Announcement

Q&A with Adjunct Professor Jenny Strong


What are you most excited about for your new position with UDSL?

I’m very much looking forward to sharing my decade-plus of real-world experiences with the students so that they may better understand the many facets that Government Program Management offers—teaching PPM is a fantastic opportunity to accomplish just that. 


What major trend you’re seeing for 2023?

Currently, there’s been a noticeable uptick in cyber crimes. All eyes are on cybersecurity measures and the proactive steps we as individuals can take to combat fraud and vulnerabilities in this area. I intend to expand on this cutting-edge topic during our summer session of PPM. 


What do you like to do outside of teaching?

I’m the mother of 5 wonderful daughters, each one keeps me on my toes.


I’ve also recently taken to karaoke and can't seem to get enough. Now accepting your favorite song requests (be kind)! 🎶

 

Certificate or MSL?

 

The University of Dayton School of Law offers two distinct programs designed to gain entry or advance, in the fields of government contracting and program and project management. The M.S.L. provides a unique opportunity to earn an advanced, specialized law degree (with no previous law degree required), while the Certificate Program is designed to prepare students for work in the government contracting field (with a rollover path to earn an M.S.L. if desired).


Check out our article for all the details on both programs and to help determine which path is right for you!
