Saint Xavier University (http://www.sxuonline.com), an accredited, not-for-profit university based in Chicago, has unveiled a new Web site, http://www.sxuonline.com, to highlight three online master's degree programs: SXU's Master of Science in Nursing – Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL), Master of Science in Service Management, and Master's in Curriculum and Instruction.

These cutting edge programs were designed with the same admission standards and rigorous curriculum as their ground campus counterparts but are now accessible to students across the country. Saint Xavier University is excited to offer these degrees as part of a long-term strategy to provide market-centric master's programs tailored for today's working professionals. These programs are designed with a three-day experiential residency at SXU's Chicago campus to reinforce the concepts learned and allow valuable time to interact with faculty.

"The new program offerings allow Saint Xavier University to reach a larger, more diverse population of students," explained Richard Venneri, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs, "Students throughout the country can now take advantage of these highly successful programs that have only been available on campus up until now. The online nature allows for personalized classes and an individualized structure without sacrificing the recognition of a regionally accredited University."

Given the current national economy, many working professionals are seeking additional credentials to protect their current positions or increase marketability. Also, with unpredictable fuel costs there is a demand for advanced education without driving to a fixed location. SXU's online master's degree programs provide small class sizes and convenient access to coursework on your schedule.

The Xavier: Missionary

Harrington Park, NJ (PRWEB) December 5, 2007

Janson Media today announced the broadcast premiere of the new one-hour documentary film, "Xavier: Missionary & Saint," on PBS stations nationwide. Narrated by Academy Award-winner Liam Neeson and filmed on location in the footsteps of the Jesuit missionary, "Xavier" features stunning scenery from Rome, Spain, Paris, India, China, and Japan as well as interviews with world-renowned historians and theologians. The film commemorates the 500th anniversary of the birth of the most successful missionary since St. Paul.

"Xavier" was produced by Jeremy Zipple and Jeff Johnson for Fourth Week Films and the New Orleans Province of the Society of Jesus. The film was written by Johnson, directed by Zipple, and edited by Justin Ulbrich. The music was composed by Anthony Francis Rosado, and the role of Francis Xavier is played by Ron Garcia. "While there is some good historical scholarship on Xavier, there are not a lot of background stories," said Johnson. "We're trying to tell them." The experience of making the film and of hearing stories of Xavier from Jesuits around the world "was a grace-filled part of the experience," said Zipple. "I really felt his presence in a profound way."

"This is the story of a missionary who died alone on a desolate island within sight of the land of his life's dream," says Liam Neeson in the film's introduction. "He was unaware that he had forever changed the face and the race of Christianity."

The production of "Xavier" was financed by the New York, Chicago, Maryland, and California Provinces of the Society of Jesus, as well as the Jesuit Conference and private donors. The documentary is distributed exclusively by New Jersey-based Janson Media for all media worldwide. The DVD of "Xavier: Missionary & Saint," released by Janson Media in December 2006, includes such special features as an interview with Avery Cardinal Dulles S.J., the film's original trailer, a "Behind the Scenes" Photo Gallery, and "The Making of… Xavier" featurette. The documentary itself was filmed in widescreen, 16:9 format.
