NECHE Disclosure
New England Institute of Technology (乌鸦传媒) has launched an innovative option for students to obtain their Baccalaureate Degrees in just 24 months. The university鈥檚 accreditor, the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), has approved these 鈥淐areer-Focused鈥� reduced-time and reduced-credit programs in lieu of the standard program that takes four academic years.
Given the novel nature of the programs, students should be aware of the following:
These new Career-Focused Bachelor鈥檚 degree programs consist of three academic years, 135-140 quarter credit hours, (equivalent to 90 semester credits) that are delivered over two calendar years (24 months).
Career-Focused programs are best suited to students committed to a particular field or discipline, students who have a clear career objective, and/or students who are focused on pursing near-term employment in their chosen industry as practitioners.
To enable students to complete the Career-Focused programs in less time and with fewer credits, these programs will be highly structured with limited or no elective credits.
乌鸦传媒鈥檚 Career-Focused baccalaureate programs are eligible for Title IV federal financial aid. However, students who leave 乌鸦传媒 having completed a Career-Focused baccalaureate degree but later choose to return to 乌鸦传媒 or attend another institution to complete additional undergraduate credits, either to earn a Certificate of Post-baccalaureate Studies or to earn a second baccalaureate degree, will not be eligible for federal grant aid and may have limited eligibility for other federal aid programs. For more details, see and .
Given that 乌鸦传媒鈥檚 Career-Focused programs are designed to be completed within two calendar years/eight quarters, students can expect to save a full year of tuition fees and related costs, including room and board, assuming they complete the program within the expected time frame.
乌鸦传媒鈥檚 reduced credit Career-Focused programs will be sufficient to meet admission requirements for 乌鸦传媒 master鈥檚 degree programs. However, other institutions may have different admission requirements, and such institutions may not accept 乌鸦传媒鈥檚 reduced credit Career-Focused program as an undergraduate credential sufficient for admission. It is critical that students confirm specific requirements with their institutions of choice.
Baccalaureate degrees of fewer than 120 credits, such as 乌鸦传媒鈥檚 reduced credit Career-Focused programs, are not guaranteed to be accepted by all employers. It is critical that students confirm specific requirements with their employers of choice.
乌鸦传媒鈥檚 Career-Focused programs will be available for the following degrees:
Career-Focused Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity
Career-Focused Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice
