Completing your degree can help you take charge of your career, move forward, or take a new path. Whether you started your degree years ago and did not have a chance to finish, or if this is your first time in a college program, Weekend College gives you the flexibility you need to manage courses around your job and other commitments.
Weekend College is designed specifically for adult learners and is delivered in a mature learning environment; the course content creates connections between your work experiences and academics to strengthen your critical-thinking and problem-solving expertise. Classes are a mixture of presentations, discussion, group assignments, and personal research to give you a well-rounded experience and maximize the quality of your time in the classroom.
The core of the Weekend College is courses from the bachelor of science in organizational leadership degree. Each semester, offerings are arranged to suit a first-time student in need of general education courses, or a returning student who needs a few semesters to finish a degree. Courses can also be applied to the associate degree in letters, arts, and sciences and the associate degree in business administration.
