Weekend degree completion cohort begins in August at Eureka College

Fourth cohort begins on August 8, 2008

           
Eureka College will begin the fourth cohort of its weekend degree completion program on Aug. 8. The program allows students to complete a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership on weekends. It prepares students to assume management-focused leadership positions at organizations in both the public and private sectors. It is based on a cohort model in which students take each class together throughout the entirety of the program.

To date, approximately 40 students are enrolled in three cohorts.

The weekend program format is geared toward busy individuals who might find it challenging to complete their degree in a regular semester format, according to program coordinator Karen Bruning.  Students who have obtained a transferable associate's degree or who have completed a minimum of 51 hours of transferable credit hours are eligible to be considered for admission, Bruning said.
           
Classes meet over five successive semesters every other weekend on Friday evenings and all day Saturdays. The program takes approximately 20 months to complete.
