| Distance Education Pioneer still at the Center of Change |
- An interview with Mary Adams, President of American Sentinel University
Mary, you are at the center of all the changes made by American Sentinel University over the past several months. Why were all these changes made? It seems they were all made at the same time. Why? And, what has the reaction been?
Well, let's start at the beginning. When the American Graduate School of Management, Sentinel University and ACCIS joined forces in February (they came together legally in December of 05 but operated independently until Feb. 14, 2006) we realized we were creating something special: a truly new online education institution with some very unique characteristics, but more importantly with some very special aspirations - in terms of the quality of our programs, more and better students services, and ultimately to higher levels of accreditation and student loan support.
We knew students would benefit from an intermixing of programs, such as offering health care students more management and technology options and offering technology students access to more management or health care courses.
So to get the benefits of new programs and new technologies, we decided to make some changes: one school, one learning management system, and a set schedule for offering all programs. To read the full story click here.

| New MBA Specialties Announced - Courses Open to All American Sentinel University's Graduate Students |
American Sentinel University is pleased to announce several new specialties in the MBA curriculum including Strategic Management, General Management, Human Resources Management, Healthcare / Human Resources Management, Healthcare IT Management, Finance, Marketing Management, Management Information Systems, Information Systems, Information Management and Project Management.
The Sentinel asked American Sentinel University Provost, Dr. Lawrence Droutman, about the new programs.
Why did you create all these specialty programs?
"The driving factor was student demand. Many of our students, across our programs of health care, business and technology, have been telling us that they need a variety of courses with professional and industry specializations to be more competitive in today's marketplace. They still need the business basics, but the market is demanding up-to-date industry and professional knowledge and skills as well. While many students will still want to take the general program courses, increasingly, many business students want more technology or health care expertise.” The read the full interview, please click here.
