Message from the President
Dear Student,
Education can change one’s life. It can give you the competitive edge. It helps build your confidence so you can take on all those things that confront you on a daily basis. An education prepares you for the workplace, for success in your family relationship, and for service to your community.
An Adam University education will bring you faculty with excellent academic credentials, but who also have real world experiences that are so valuable to connect textbook learning to the workplace.
The general education/liberal arts in an American education bring many skills, knowledge, understanding, and appreciations to your degree. Employers look for a new employee to have good work habits, computer skills, and have developed the ability to work under supervision and in groups. They further want employees who can solve problems, not create them.
Sure employers want employees that bring new knowledge and skills, but unless they have the other attributes, they cannot be successful in the workplace. We strive to provide you with an education that accomplishes these tasks.
Our University will work hard to have your educational experience be a meaningful and successful one.
Best Wishes,
Philip D. Langerman, PhD
President/ CEO
