Posted on: Tuesday, 14 July 2009, 09:58 CDT
NEW YORK, July 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Two undergraduate programs at the New York University School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) open new opportunities for adult students with prior college credits to earn a degree online.
"In these economic times especially, having a college degree is so critical to getting ahead and building a career," says Divisional Dean Susan Kinsey of the NYU-SCPS Paul McGhee Division. "Our online programs connect adult learners from across the country - in an accessible, convenient way - to the high-quality faculty and education at the McGhee program for adults and empowers them to finally complete that degree."
Students choose one of four areas of study across two bachelor's degree programs: Organizational Behavior and Communication within the B.A. in Social Sciences, or International Business, Human Resource Management, or Organizational Management and Development within the B.S. in Leadership and Management Studies. These programs are online adaptations of curricula offered by the McGhee Division, the University's esteemed undergraduate program specifically for adult students.
Adults who have completed at least 40 to 64 credits at a regionally-accredited university may be eligible for admission. Applications to the fall 2009 semester are being accepted this summer.
Offered through NYU-SCPS Online, students access the same courses, faculty, and student resources (including the NYU Library, academic advisement, and the like) as those attending in-person classes. NYU-SCPS Online also delivers the School's online master's degree programs in Management and Systems and Human Resource Management and Technology and non-credit programs in business, writing, and other subjects.
The McGhee online courses maximize student-to-faculty and student-to-student interactions with a variety of communications and technological tools. Further, explains Kinsey, the online classes use the same proven educational tools used in McGhee's on-site courses - such as team projects, research papers, and peer-to-peer learning - to create a rich learning environment.
A description of the curriculum, courses, and admission requirements are online at www.scps.nyu.edu/mcghee.online.
