Information Sessions for Adults

Neumann College will host two free information sessions in October to explain how it is possible for working adults to earn an undergraduate or graduate degree in a variety of accelerated and convenient programs.  Two of these degree programs are available entirely online.

Undergraduate Programs
On Monday, October 8, at 6 p.m., College representatives will be available to discuss Neumann’s Finish College Now program for adults as well as the traditional adult undergraduate evening programs (business administration, education and nursing). The Finish College Now program is available completely online, in a classroom setting, or as a mix of online and classroom courses.

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

The key to the Finish College Now program is Neumann’s six-credit courses, which allow you 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. You can bring as many as 90 transfer credits with you.

Graduate Degrees
On Wednesday, October 10, 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 M.S. in Education can be completed at any of nine locations in five counties. Graduate nursing offerings include an accelerated RN to M.S program.  Pastoral Care and Counseling combines spirituality with clinical counseling skills in pastoral counseling and spiritual direction tracks.

Just 15 months can lead to a master’s degree in Sport Management while a master’s degree in Strategic Leadership takes only 18 months. The M.S. in Strategic Leadership is available entirely online or in the classroom.

The DPT in Physical Therapy can be earned through a combination of weekend academics and clinical experience. The new Ed.D. focuses on addressing practical school issues and creating consensus for ethical decision-making.

Both information sessions are scheduled for the Rocco A. Abessinio Building. All programs are open to new students and to transfer students.

For directions or to reserve a seat at either information session, call 610-558-5616.
