The Barclays


Golf's FedEx Cup Playoffs start with The Barclays (August 19-24), and you and your friends can be there...for less! Through TICKETS Fore CHARITY, Holy Family University is offering specially-priced WEEKLY TICKETS...for just $125! That's a huge value, and each Weekly Ticket is actually 6 separate tickets for the Tuesday practice round, Wednesday pro-am, and the Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday championship rounds...that you can use yourself or give to friends.


Tickets are available on Ticketmaster. Enter the number of tickets you wish to purchase in the box to the left of the ticket price (which also includes taxes and reduced Ticketmaster fees) and be sure to type Holy Family's unique discount code (case sensitive; all caps, please!) SPIKES14 in the box containing the yellow lock symbol that is just to the RIGHT of the ticket price. Entering the code designates Holy Family University as the benefiting charity and guarantees that the University will receive 75% of the purchase price.

 

This special pricing for The Barclays is available through Sunday, August 17. We hope we'll see you there!
 

Reaffirmation of Investment Rating

   

Holy Family University President Sister Maureen McGarrity, CSFN, PhD, is pleased to announce that the University's public investment grade rating has been reaffirmed during an annual review by the Fitch Rating Agency. This review and determination by Fitch Ratings reinforces the strong foundation that has been established for financial stability, future growth, and development. 

 
Fitch Ratings credit ratings provide an opinion on the relative ability of an entity to meet its financial commitments, such as interest and repayment of principal commitments on issued bonds. The Board of Trustees and Sister Maureen are grateful to all of those individuals whose diligence and hard work were essential to the success of the review and to the University community as a whole for their dedication in effecting the changes needed to sustain this rating. Accomplishments such as this clearly demonstrate our commitment to the mission and underscore once again the "value of family."
 

MS in Accountancy

 

Join our Family. Our new MS in Accountancy program provides a pathway to this profession. The career opportunities in the field of accounting are exploding, and there is currently a shortage of qualified accountants in the US. You already possess the business foundation necessary to be successful in our graduate accountancy program. For your convenience, we offer a hybrid format that includes online and face-to-face components on alternating Saturday or weeknight classes.

 

An accounting program provides a focused career path with strong earning potential. And while we often associate accounting primarily with math, accounting is actually about developing an intuitive understanding of the flow of business transactions. Additionally, our Master of Science inAccountancy program will give you the credits you need to qualify for your CPA license, once you have started your new career path.
