PROVIDENCE COLLEGE SCHOOL OF CONTINUING EDUCATION LAUNCHES FLEX DEGREE PROGRAMS FOR ADULT LEARNERS
(PROVIDENCE, R.I.) — Providence College’s School of Continuing Education (PCSCE) today announced the launch of flexible degree programs (Flex Programs) for adult learners. Like PCSCE’s other part-time programs, each student chooses their degree path and sets the pace from Day 1. But with Flex Programs, adult learners will also enjoy a learning experience that is delivered almost entirely online, with only a few classes held on PC’s Providence campus.
“Our new Flex Programs offer all the benefits of an accredited, world-class education that is designed to fit each individual’s goals and learning preferences,” said PCSCE Dean Carmen Aguilar. “Providence College is committed to serving the evolving needs of adult learners, especially working professionals, throughout the tri-state area. These new programs reflect that commitment by offering students superior accessibility, affordability, and convenience for completing a Providence College bachelor’s degree part time,” Aguilar said.
PCSCE has begun accepting applications for its initial release of Flex Programs this September, including bachelor’s degrees in liberal studies, professional studies, and social science, and an associate’s degree in liberal studies.
PCSCE provides a supportive learning experience for working adults and their part-time studies. The institution offers the most affordable degree programs in the region, a low student-to-faculty ratio (12:1), caring faculty and advisers, and a 90% student satisfaction rate. Unlike larger institutions or online schools, PCSCE students receive the personalized attention and guidance needed for successful degree completion.
