This program serves two groups of students: (1) Those who have never attended college before but have met all remediation needs and (2) Working adults who may have a number of hours already completed toward an associate degree but who have been stalled by work or family obligations. All of the coursework will be offered online or in a hybrid format, with no more than three scheduled meetings in the evenings and the rest of the work completed online.
