Edward Waters College announces the enhanced CLIMB (Credentials for Leadership in Management and Business) Program, an adult-focused, accelerated bachelor’s degree completion program. Through successful completion of the blended classroom and online program, learners will receive their bachelor’s degree in organizational management.
The CLIMB Program first was implemented at Edward Waters College in 1994 as a classroom-based degree completion program for adults in the Jacksonville area.
Starting fall 2008, the CLIMB Program will offer participants the ability to complete the program requirements online in the comfort of home or office in as few as 18 months. Learners are required to attend on-site classroom sessions only one evening every five weeks for the duration of the program. The remaining learning experience is completed online.
Classes are taught in a style that is conducive to adult learners – one class immediately after the other in a sequential format over an eighteen-month period. The program’s design and academic content is ideal for individuals employed in areas such as for-profit or non-profit organizations, educational institutions, hospitals, financial institutions and government agencies.
