Adults - Earn Your Graduate Degree
or Finish Your Undergraduate Degree Right Here

Neumann will host two free information sessions this summer to explain how it is possible for working adults to earn an undergraduate or graduate degree in a variety of accelerated and convenient programs. For the first time, two of these degree programs are available entirely online.

On Wednesday, July 26, at 6 p.m., College representatives will be available to discuss Neumann's accelerated undergraduate degree completion program for adults (liberal studies) as well as the traditional adult undergraduate evening programs (business administration, education and nursing). Starting this fall, the liberal studies program is available completely online or in a classroom setting.

At the information session, professional staff members will provide assistance in selecting programs that lead to specific career options. Academic advisors will tell prospective adult students if work experience can help them gain credit and bring them even closer to a degree.

The key to the accelerated undergraduate degree program is Neumann's six-credit courses, which allow students to attend class just one night per week and earn six credits each semester toward a degree. The program is designed to work for students who have some previous college experience as well as those without any college credit. Students can bring as many as 90 transfer credits with them.

On Tuesday, August 1st, at 6 p.m., academic advisors and program directors will be on hand to explain Neumann's graduate degree options. Master's degrees are available in Education, Nursing, Pastoral Care and Counseling, Sport Management, and Strategic Leadership. The College also offers doctoral degrees in Physical Therapy (DPT) and Education (Ed.D.).

• The MS in Education can be completed at any of seven convenient locations in five counties.
  
  
• Nursing programs include an accelerated RN to MS.
  
  
• Pastoral Care & Counseling combines spirituality with clinical counseling skills.
  
  
• Just 15 months can lead to a master's degree in Sport Management, a booming industry.
  
  
• A master's degree in Strategic Leadership takes just 18 months. Starting this fall, the M.S. in Strategic Leadership is available entirely online or in the classroom.
  
  
• The new DPT in Physical Therapy can be earned through a combination of weekend academics and clinical experience.
  
  
• The new Ed.D. focuses on using substantive "action research" to address pressing school issues and practical decision-making. The program starts in January 2007.

Both information sessions are scheduled for the Rocco A. Abessinio Building. All programs are open to new students and to transfer students who want to find a personal and satisfying college experience.

The campus is located in the heart of Delaware County - easily accessible from I-95, the Blue Route, Rt. 322, or Baltimore Pike. For directions or to reserve a seat at either information session, call 610-558-5616.
