What Our Students are Saying…
After a full two years of total exposure to the real issues of leadership - from the legal to the humanistic perspective and beyond - I am proud with myself that I made the right decision to pursue this course. I am fully confident that the skills I acquired not only will enhance my professional career at the United Nations, but also have prepared the ground work for me to embark on a new venture after retirement from the United Nations service.
Mr. Abdullah Saleh Mbamba, Master of Arts in Leadership and Liberal Studies, 2002
Director, United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) for Indonesia.
“The online program was a very convenient way to continue my studies while at home in Greece. I chose Duquesne’s online program because I was very satisfied by the performance, the quality and the knowledge that I gained when I first took online courses while I was in Pittsburgh. There is a great communication with the professors and classmates.”

I would advise future adult students to consider Duquesne because the support they receive from people at the university is priceless.”
