Accelerated Learning a Great Option for Adult Students

This is a paid promotional post for Centenary College.

Do you have college credits, but never finished your degree?  Are you afraid you won’t have time to attend classes while working full-time?   If so, you should consider accelerated learning programs. Accelerated degree programs are especially helpful for those who have finished the core requirements, but haven’t completed their degrees.  A few benefits of accelerated degree programs include:

Experiential learning. Courses in accelerated programs focus on real-world skills that adult students need.  Discussions and projects emphasize practical problems and solutions.  Assignments are designed to show your expertise, not to keep you busy.

Focus on non-traditional students. Because accelerated programs are designed specifically for working adults, your classmates and instructors will understand that you have responsibilities outside of school.  Classes typically meet just one night a week and are offered in an ordered sequence.

Small classes. A more intimate class setting allows for better communication between instructors and students.  In large classes, students don’t get to know their classmates and may not have the opportunity to ask questions or participate in class discussions.

Convenient locations. Most colleges offering accelerated programs have branch campuses specifically for adult students.  Where main campuses offer mostly daytime classes, branch campuses offer night classes for working students.  You may also be able to take some courses online.

Centenary College is certified by the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) as an accelerated degree provider.  Centenary’s accelerated learning program provides students with immediate access to professors and instructors, and has convenient locations throughout New Jersey.  It offers the following accelerated degree programs:  an Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts with a Business Emphasis, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA), and a Master of Business Administration (MBA).

  1. Many in education know how to present material, stress note taking, enforce discipline, and glean a percentage of adequate students from the class leaving those left with a bleak future. Traditional teaching methods work but we can certainly improve them. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could salvage some of those poorer students. The Learning Booth study aid works like an isolation tank. It eliminates outside stimuli and speeds up learning, improving the student’s concentration and retention. As society enters the twenty first century, we need innovative learning aids like The Learning Booth so all of our young people can compete in the world market.
