Georgia Highlands College will be launching a new accelerated adult learner program for Fall 2016.

This initiative will give students the opportunity to earn an Associate of Science with a focus in Business Administration on a two-year completion plan with flexible class scheduling that will include evening, hybrid and online courses.

The “nights, online and weekends,” or NOW, program has been crafted specifically for working adult learners, the college said. The pilot program will start on the Georgia Highland’s Cartersville campus.

“I’m very excited that GHC will be offering this pathway,” said NOW Coordinator Maria Lauro. “There are a lot of wonderful opportunities that the NOW program offers working adults who are looking for career mobility.”

The program is designed to be completed in two years, Lauro explained, and offers courses on an accelerated eight-week format, which will include routine advising, periodic check-ins/coaching and access to the GHC tutorial center to ensure student success.

The NOW program currently offers an associate of science degree, which will allow students to transfer into a bachelor of science in business administration, Lauro added.

“It’s a wonderful way for working adults to earn a degree with the most flexibility,” she added. “It also positions them to go farther in their career and education.”
