A Program That Works for the Scottsville Workforce

Does it seem like your work schedule made it impossible for you to earn a college degree? Not anymore!

Beginning in spring 2011, LWC will offer a business administration degree program designed for adult learners who are in the workforce. The program's flexible, innovative schedule fits into a work schedule and life while giving students the guidance to be successful.

Degrees Offered
Adult learners may earn an associate's degree in business administration (AA) or a bachelor's degree in business administration (BA).

How Long Does It Take to Earn a Degree?
If students remain continuously enrolled and earn a "C" or better in each course, the AA can be earned in six semesters (two years); the BA can be earned in 10-11 semesters (two years beyond the AA).  All coursework in the AA degree applies toward the BA.

How Courses Are Offered
Courses are be offered in a hybrid format in eight-week modules (two modules per semester). Hybrid courses have an online component and a face-to-face component. Students meet with instructors and fellow students every other week (four times); other coursework is done online. (See sample module.) Students may enroll in classes that meet face-to face in the day (8:30-11:45 a.m. CT) or in the evening (6:30-9:45 p.m. CT).  Face-to-face meetings are held at the LWC-Scottsville Campus.

When Will I Be In Class?
If enrolled in two classes per eight-week term, adult learners will be in class for 3-1/2 hours one day or evening per week.  Instruction occurs online throughout the session. Many classes are team-taught. Students need access to a computer with an Internet.  Sample Schedule

How to Afford College
LWC staff work with students to apply for financial aid. Some employers offer an educational benefit. Students enrolled in four classes each semester (two each per eight-week module) are classified as a full-time student. Full-time students usually have access to financial aid options not available to part-time students.
