It is my honor, on behalf of everyone at Park University, to welcome you to another exciting academic year! Your educational journey is defined by the future you aspire to, the goals you set to realize it and the support we give you along the way. We are here to support you on your next step, whether you are considering a degree, planning your first semester or enrolling in your final classes.
At Park, you are part of a community of learners united in the pursuit of purpose through transformative education. Our students are not defined by where they come from, what they study or how they reach graduation. We welcome anyone willing to take on the challenge of making an impact in our world and offer paths that fit the complexity of real life. More than 43 percent of Park’s students have served our country, but thousands have come straight from high school or joined us as a first step to a new career. Our students pursue one of more than 90 degrees in fields as varied as nursing, business, history, education, art and design. They study in-person in Parkville, Missouri, Gilbert, Arizona, and at our campuses and online from communities across the country. The focus on purpose and the desire to work toward impactful careers tie these diverse learners together into one community.
You are not alone on your journey. Along with your fellow students, Park’s dedicated faculty and staff place students at the center of everything they do. As an institution, we know that real learning needs to fit real life. Our educational model is meant to be flexible enough for you to succeed but challenging enough that you grow. In the end, you will have durable skills and career-ready experiences that will make you resilient in a quickly changing world. If you take up the challenge, we promise to support you at every step.
Good luck. We know you can do it and we are excited to see all that you will become.
Yours in service to Park University,
Kathrine Swanson, Ed.D.
President
Park University
