美高梅博彩董事会批准了新的职业发展在线学院
VALDOSTA — Why do more than 67,000 of Georgia’s online adult learners choose to pay more to attend an out-of-state college? 从今年夏天开始，答案是他们不再需要这么做了。
Today, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved 美高梅博彩’s new 在线职业发展学院. 这所新学院建立在从知名的国家在线提供商那里吸取的经验教训的基础上，以较低的成本在乔治亚州创造了一流的选择。
“For too long Georgians looking for high-touch personal attention, ease of transfer credit acceptance, and an easy-to-navigate highly flexible degree have been forced to pay the higher costs charged by institutions like the University of Phoenix or Southern New Hampshire University,” said Dr. Richard A. Carvajal, president of vs上. “The launch of vs上’s new 在线职业发展学院 will forever change that.”
The new college offers students a re-imagined admission process designed specifically for returning students, eight of the most sought after bachelor’s programs among those seeking career advancement, and an innovative model for providing concierge-level support at every stage of a student’s degree path.
这所新学院的学费将是全国最实惠的。 每学分299美元，比所有主要的国内竞争对手都更实惠。 新的全包费率还包括所有课程材料，学生将不收取任何额外费用。
Dr. Rodney Carr, vice president for Student Success vs上 and the new college’s director, is proud of what makes this new college different beyond its price.
“During the pandemic, vs上 drew national attention when we launched a concierge coaching model of student support in which trained and caring staff have regular contact with a small group of students to provide ongoing encouragement and to help them with any needs,” he said. “This model will now be used to help students in the new college get answers to any question they may have, plus the ongoing support needed to get more of them to the finish line of graduation.”
卡尔还指出，学生不必等到传统的学期开始，而是可以每周注册一次，所有课程都将持续八周，外观和感觉都很相似。
“All classes have been designed by professional course designers, thus freeing up our faculty to focus their time on providing students with an outstanding and highly personalized experience with regular and fast feedback,” he said.
经过多年的规划，新学院是卡瓦哈尔和大学其他许多人合作的愿景。
“This new college is designed with the goal of helping many more adult learners complete their degree,” Carvajal said. “Our faculty and staff take pride in being innovative leaders in Georgia and beyond, and they will play a big role in the support and success of the students in our new 在线职业发展学院.”
“We know that there are far too many Georgians trying to complete degrees from an institution outside our state,” Carr added. “We want them to know that there is a more affordable option closer to home with all the personal attention and convenience they have come to appreciate and expect.”
在线职业发展学院将提供8个学位，包括：
- 工商管理学士学位
- 一般商业工商管理学士学位
- 组织领导学学士学位
- 心理学学士学位
- 基础教育教育学理学学士学位
- 刑事司法理学学士学位
- 计算机信息系统理学学士学位
- 跨学科研究文学学士学位
卡尔指出，新学院包含了许多创新的方面，他补充说，美高梅博彩当然不是在线教育的新手。
“The university has been recognized on multiple ‘best of’ lists and previously offered more than 40 bachelor, master, specialist, and doctoral degrees in more traditional online formats,” he said.
