D’YOUVILLE’S ADVANCE PROGRAM YOUR CAREER. YOUR LIFE CONTRIBUTED A RTICLE D'Youville College
Adults who are interested in returning to college to complete their bachelor’s degree should investigate the ADVANCE Program at D’Youville College. The ADVANCE Program offers adults the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s in business management in as little as 18 months while attending classes only one night per week (classes are held 6-10 pm), and most students only take one class at a time. This is all without disrupting the student’s personal and professional life. The ADVANCE Program is designed with the adult learner in mind. Classes are smaller, taught in a seminar format, and only last five weeks. Additional required college credits
can be earned through several alternative methods. Internet Courses, Internships, Challenge/Clep Exams or courses offered other than during evenings are available to students who transfer in fewer credits but still want to complete their degree within a brief period of time. “Your entire bachelor’s degree can be earned during the evening,” said Dr. Dion Daly, business department chair. The ADVANCE program emphasizes leadership in the business environment. Because so many companies are undergoing changes, managers must be trained to lead the workforce through periods of disruption. “Similar to the way business is conducted, our students get the
necessary tools to advance in today’s workforce. Courses are taught by professors with experience in business and management, so students get a unique combination of practical theory and real-life experience in each course. The seminar format also allows adult learners to share their own professional experiences,” said Jackie Milbrand, ADVANCE Program Counselor. Another example showing that D’Youville has the adult learners needs in mind is students are not required to meet once a week in study groups. “It’s difficult to be away from home a second night of the week to meet with a study group” says Dawn, a current ADVANCE Student. “We can still meet as a group when we need to, but
it’s optional, not required like in other programs.” The tuition cost for the ADVANCE Program is very competitive with other local adult degree completion programs, and financial aid is available for qualified students. Payment options are also available for those looking to finance their education. Adults interested in finding out more about this unique leadershipbased program should contact the ADVANCE Office at 716-829-8090 or visit D’Youville’s website at www.dyc.edu. Classes begin in January. Information Sessions: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 Tuesday, December 4, 2012 To register for an information session or to
