A team of dedicated staff members assist in minimizing potential academicbarriers, interceding on the student behalf with university officials and departments, andsupplying or acquiring appropriate counseling (academic or personal counseling) forparticipating students. The ATMO Office oversees the management of the outreachprograms and uses these programs as a vehicle for early recruitment of potential entriesinto the student pipeline.

These findings advance a new perspective on program quality that is centered on theconcept of engagement of working professionals that is quite different from the conventional view ofprogram quality for research-based graduate education that is centered primarily on the academic researchproductivity and credentials of the faculty. Those attributes that are required in developing and sustaininghigh-quality professional graduate programs center around five primary clusters.
