NEWS RELEASE

Norwich graduate school adopts new name to reflect new programs

NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich University officials announced today that the School of Graduate Studies will now be known as the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies (SGCS).

In addition to several recently added graduate program offerings, SGCS now offers programs outside of the graduate model.

The name change reflects the addition of an undergraduate degree completion program for the U.S. Army Special Forces, the Bachelor of Science in Strategic Studies and Defense Analysis (BSSSDA), and a certificate in teaching and learning.

“We are excited about the growth and evolution of our online programs to serve the needs of the community, and this name change reflects that growth,” said Dean William Clements.

In addition to the new programs, SGCS offers graduate programs in diplomacy, military history, business administration, engineering, public administration, business continuity, information assurance, nursing and organizational leadership.
