Manor College Starts 3 Online Programs, Receives Approval to Pilot State Funding for Online Students

The Middle States Commission on Higher Education approved Manor College to go forward with new fully online programs. This fall Manor College will not only offer healthcare administration, business administration and liberal arts in fully online format (in addition to traditional), but will be one of several institutions in Pennsylvania that offers funding to online students who enroll. Manor is a pilot institution in the Pennsylvania State Grant Distance Education Pilot Program through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.

President of Manor College, Jonathan Peri, said “As one of the few institutions that not only offers online programs, but also has the funding mechanisms in place to make them affordable to students, Manor College is breaking through the barriers to education. This wonderful announcement comes on the heels of our 0% tuition increase just a couple months ago.”

“It evidences our commitment to making education accessible. As a private institution, we are already the most competitively priced in the region, so to offer these excellent new programs, with funding, and in the convenient online format, is a win-win-win for students. On top of it, through our University Center, students can move onto careers or continue to layer their education with additional degrees,” says Peri.

Dr. Stephen Grieco, Vice President of Academic Affairs added, “The benefit of being enrolled in an online program at Manor, is that students have the additional convenience of managing their own time, learning through innovative engagement of the materials presented, and completing their assignments on their own schedules.”

All of the same personalized attention and services that make Manor’s on-campus students successful, and that Manor College students have grown to love, are also available to Manor’s online students. Services including tutoring, advising, and thousands of Library resources will all be available for online students and can be accessed from anywhere.

Students can start enrolling in these fully online programs today by visiting manor.edu/apply. Courses will start in the Fall 2016 semester.
