Start at Manor -- Finish at Manor: University Center @ Manor College Launches

The University Center @ Manor College launched with the announcement of the college’s first educational partner, Immaculata University. This fall, Manor students who have completed their Associate degree will be able to continue their education toward a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Immaculata while still on Manor’s Jenkintown campus, enabling them to continue to enjoy the personalized attention, small campus environment, quality education, values and convenient location for which Manor is known.

Additional educational partners will be added to the University Center @ Manor College shortly as the Center becomes the focal point for education, advanced degrees and accelerated learning. The degrees, credentials and certificates earned from the partner institutions at Manor are held to the same high standards as for students completing the same degree at the partner institution’s home campus.

“All of the degrees awarded will be the exact same degree that would be earned at the home campus,” Dr. Stephen Grieco, associate dean of Academic Affairs at Manor, explained. “The programs will feature the same faculty and curriculum students would experience at the partner institution’s home campus, but with the convenience, service and amenities offered by the University Center @ Manor College,” Grieco said.

“We will only be partnering with top accredited international and nationally known universities and businesses,” Grieco continued. “Those partner institutions have the opportunity to broaden their footprint while taking advantage of the built-in infrastructure and resources necessary for success at Manor,” Grieco continued.

Manor offers ample free parking, easy access to public transportation, convenient proximity to Philadelphia and a full campus residential life experience.

Manor College graduates and non-Manor students who have earned an Associate degree can enroll in University Center programs, which are designed for the busy adult learner, with most programs only requiring one meeting a week. Each degree program can be completed in its entirety on the Manor College campus, negating the need for students to commute to the home campus of the partner institution. Students can start at Manor and finish at Manor.

Students not holding an Associate degree may qualify for Manor’s accelerated Adult Degree Program and should contact Manor’s Admissions department for additional information.

The admissions and scheduling processes for University Center programs are all handled by the partner institutions. Please visit the University Center @ Manor College website for additional information and contact information for the educational partners.
