Liberal Studies Accelerated Degree Program
Program Overview
The Liberal Studies Accelerated Degree Program at Neumann College has been serving adult students since 1974. The program is designed to provide those who may have earned previous college credits or who did not attend college after high school the opportunity to complete a bachelor of arts, bachelor
of science, or associate of arts degree.
A unique feature of this program
is its six-credit seminar format. Each seminar features learning opportunities called Experiential Learning Projects (ELP) that blend theory and practice. ELPs can be professional initiatives that enable students to further research and develop projects from their places of work—a return on investment for employers. ELPs can also be projects that have personal meaning, for example developing a new community service initiative, starting a small business, or launching a new career.
Students may attend courses face-to-face, online, or a combination of both, either part time (1–11 credits)
or full time (12–19) credits.
Program Features
The Liberal Studies Accelerated Degree Program consists of 60 required credits of core curriculum and 60 credits that can be individually designed. Much
of a student’s program plan is based
on transfer credit and supplemental ways to earn credit. Depending on
each individual’s circumstances:
• Five courses may be needed—
if you have 90 transferable credits
• Ten courses may be needed—
if you have 60 transferable credits
• Twenty courses may be needed—
if you have NO college credits
In addition, you can:
• Earn credit for prior learning through a variety of assessment methods
• Complete an Experiential Learning Project (ELP) in each seminar
• Enjoy one-on-one advising, with career development opportunities
• Benefit from alternative instructional
methods, including online courses
