Dr. James Young

Dr. Young has served as a Vice President, managing a worldwide program offering graduate and undergraduate degrees. He has managed an educational system involving over 400 faculty and staff, a multi-million dollar budget, and over 9,000 students. Previously, he served in the federal government, accumulated over 22 years experience in ever increasing levels of management, pursued 4 graduate degrees, was assigned 4 years as a faculty member at the prestigious Air War College, and taught over 40 years as a part-time college instructor in all areas of education, management, and economics. Dr. Young has developed specific skills and taught federal planning, programming, and budgeting systems.

I love to teach at the college level. I earned my MBA in 1967 and immediately began my classroom teaching experience. I was a young Air Force Captain serving in the Viet Nam War, and in the evening I taught classes for the University of Maryland. What I discovered in a very short period of time is I loved to teach and to help others develop, it was a professional high that I never felt in my adult career. I knew immediately I wanted to make that my life time career. I continued to grow personally with 4 graduate degrees in various areas, to include my doctoral degree. I developed my teaching skills at the same time, continuing to work as an adjunct college instructor. I believe that TUI has been an extension of my professional development because of their dedication to our students and I am proud to be able to serve as one of their faculty members. Dr. James D. Young
