W E L C O M E

Welcome you all, to students of recent incorporation and to the ones having long held as our students. Welcome you all to our University and there to the Distance Learning Mode, and we are proud of it. Because ours is an urban campus of working students, leading our students on a pathway to excellence. In spite of being non-traditional, we have created a strong learning community here at ESPE. We sponsor eight levels by well-known, practicing professors each semester, and we also have tutorial sessions that will complement your studies with a well-furnished faculty, and days of talks and advice during the academic semester. All the students in our program, even our alumni, are encouraged and expected to be fully a part of the SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM, we encourage to all of you to participate in our activities.

SUFFICIENCY DIPLOMA is not for everyone. It is for the ones who need or would benefit from such a program. It is a shortcut, though, for many, a way to get a better job and to have as much intelligent criticism as possible while learning to be his/her own best critic. The value of our courses and of the certificate itself is often most apparent ten, twenty years later that will be something to show to your children.
