noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 17:35:00 +0000

Mountain State University Online

Mountain State University offers online courses and degrees via the Blackboard CE and WebCT CE 4 learning management systems. Both programs feature tools that allow students to access course information, communicate with their instructors and other students, take exams, and submit assignments.

Distance learning is education delivered to locations away from the classroom. Distance learning can supplement or replace traditional classroom education through the use of instructional television, computer or Web-based training, and numerous other technologies. Distance learning makes professional development accessible to students who work during traditional classroom hours. Through flexible learning schedules, students can learn at their own pace and at a time and place that is convenient for them. Distance education also makes learning accessible to the disabled and others who are not able or cannot afford to come to a traditional college campus for their education.

Mountain State University History

Mountain State University was founded as Beckley College in 1933. Located in the heart of southern West Virginia, the private, not-for-profit institution began as a junior college in response to the community's desire to provide accessible higher education to its youth. At a time when fewer than 10 percent of high school graduates nationally were attending college, Beckley College opened with 97 students and classrooms rented from a local church.

During its first half century, the college experienced slow but steady increases in enrollment, staff, facilities, and programs. In 1990, five presidents and 57 years later, President Charles H. Polk took on the challenges of leading Beckley College into a new era.

The past two decades have been a time of tremendous change, including the transition from a two-year to a four-year college, then to a master's level institution and, in 2009, to the doctoral level. The campus has grown and degree programs have expanded to include high-demand professional and technology fields as well as the humanities, arts, and sciences. The name Mountain State University was adopted in August 2001.

In addition to traditional classroom-based studies, MSU now serves thousands of students across the country and around the world with a system of branch campuses as well as distance learning, nontraditional credit options, and collaboration with a variety of industry and education partners. Today, as throughout its history, Mountain State University remains committed to its founding vision of fostering opportunities for personal and professional success.

Grand Canyon University (GCU)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 01:41:00 +0000

About Grand Canyon University (GCU)

Grand Canyon University (GCU) is Arizona's private university. Based in Phoenix, the regionally accredited, private, non-denominational Christian university offers online and campus-based bachelor’s and master’s degree programs through the Ken Blanchard College of Business, College of Education, College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and College of Liberal Arts.

With a total enrollment of approximately 25,000 students, GCU emphasizes individual attention for both traditional undergraduate students as well as the working professional.

Origin of GCU

Grand Canyon College was born in the wake of World War II as the realization of a dream long held dear by the tiny congregations of Southern Baptists that called the Arizona mission frontier their home. In the fall of 1946, the Baptist General Convention of Arizona voted to organize a college. A few months later, the Convention selected the first trustees for the college, who soon secured an abandoned armory building in Prescott, Arizona, as Grand Canyon’s first campus.

Mission Statement

Grand Canyon University prepares learners to become global citizens, critical thinkers, effective communicators and responsible leaders by providing an academically challenging, values-based curriculum from the context of our Christian heritage.

Post University Online School

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:33:00 +0000

About Post University Online

In 1976, Post University initiated a division of accelerated degree programs aimed at helping Vietnam veterans return to a productive working life. The program was specifically designed to combine the returning vets' life and work experiences with an education that would help them "retool" their skills and find employment. Over time, Post University saw that the programs it offered Vietnam vets also fit the educational needs of many working adults looking to pursue or resume a college education. At that point, the university began offering accelerated degree programs to all qualified adult students returning to their studies.

In the late 1980s, the program gained traction as what was then Post Junior College became Post College. The real boost came when Post began offering programs to companies on their sites. Courses were offered at Johnson & Johnson, Pratt & Whitney, Cigna, and The Hartford, to name a few. Post University then established sites in high schools in Danbury, Meriden, West Hartford, and Southington, Connecticut. In 1996, Post University began offering accelerated degree programs on the Internet.

The online program grew rapidly, and Post University became the first college in Connecticut and New England to offer certified and accredited accelerated degree programs fully online. Post University is now the largest provider of online education in Connecticut.

Whether you're interested in taking undergraduate, graduate or certificate courses, the range of options and the flexibility to learn on your schedule, without traveling to campus, make Arcadia Online an attractive option. Be educated by Arcadia's distinguished faculty in an interactive, virtual classroom setting.

Arcadia University History

Two centuries ago, little else traveled through the wilderness of westernmost Pennsylvania except for the Ohio and the Beaver Rivers. At their confluence, the French established a trading post. Here members of the Delaware, the Shawnee and the Iroquois tribes would gather to barter and exchange goods with the European traders.

The rivers were essential for travel, for sustenance and for military defense. During the American Revolutionary War, General McIntosh of Washington's Colonial Army built a fort at this place where the Beaver River flowed into the Ohio.

But as the war ended, time passed, and the population expanded, McIntosh's fort became a town: Beaver, Pa. The land was bountiful, but the citizens still hungered for knowledge. In 1853, an intellectual outpost was born - a school to teach such liberal arts as ancient history, rhetoric, logic, analogy.

This school on the Beaver and Ohio Rivers attained collegiate status in 1872 and was named Beaver College. Nonetheless, times change, towns change, even colleges change. In 1925 Beaver College moved east to Jenkintown, Pa., where it attracted more students.

This location afforded larger facilities, a more adequate campus and greater opportunities for development. The change resulted in such an increase in enrollment that the Board of Trustees found it desirable to impose limitations on the annual enrollment in order to maintain the advantages of a small college.

It soon became apparent that additional property would be needed to provide for the expansion of the College. In the autumn of 1928, the Trustees were fortunate in securing a nearby estate located in Glenside, Pa., and known as Grey Towers. With its spacious grounds and stone buildings, it provides a campus of great dignity and beauty. The College operated both the Jenkintown and Glenside campuses into the mid-1960s, when it consolidated all activities onto the Grey Towers property, in Glenside, a suburb of metropolitan Philadelphia.

Originally under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Arcadia University now maintains an historic relationship with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), but is independently controlled and ecumenical in spirit.

In the summer of the year 2000, the Board of Trustees approved a historic decision to change the name and status of the school to Arcadia University.

In the past 30 years, Arcadia University has grown significantly from a small undergraduate, liberal arts college serving a traditional-age student body, to a comprehensive university serving more than 3,700 men and women, ages 17 to 77, through part-time and full-time, daytime, and evening, undergraduate and graduate programs. The University also operates one of the largest study abroad programs in the U.S., serving another 3,000 students each year.

Student Body: 3,900 undergraduate and graduate students, both full-time and part-time, including 2,000 full-time undergraduates.

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.F.A., and B.S. in more than 45 fields of study; M.A., M.B.A., M.Ed., M.S., M.P.H. and doctoral graduate degrees.

YTI Career Institute offers Business, Culinary, Medical and Technology courses including: Business Administration, Computer Systems Specialist, Culinary Arts / Restaurant Management, Medical Assistant, Massage Therapy Practitioner, Heating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology, Motorsports Technology and more.

YTI Career Institute History

YTI is a private post-secondary institution of higher education serving south-central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. The Institute offers degree programs, as well as programs leading to professional certifications and diplomas. YTI was established in 1967, when local businessmen in York, Pennsylvania, started a co-educational institution to train entry-level draftsmen in response to the expressed needs of area industries. The initial location of the Institute was on Richland Avenue in York. The first program was in Design Drafting Technology.

In 1979, the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools (now known as the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools & Colleges of Technology) granted its initial accreditation to the institution. In 1981, the Institute moved to West King Street in downtown York. It began offering a program in Electronics Technology in 1984. One year later, it moved to a location on Whiteford Road in Springettsbury Township, a nearby suburb.

In 1985, the Institute expanded its program offerings with its initial business programs. The Institute developed these programs as a result of market research showing the York area had viable employment needs in these fields. In 1987, the Pennsylvania Department of Education authorized YTI to award the Associate in Specialized Technology and Associate in Specialized Business degrees.

In the fall of 1992, the Institute leased additional classroom facilities at the Cyber Center on Pennsylvania Ave in York, and began offering a diploma program in Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Technology at the site. In the face of continually increasing enrollments and new program offerings, the Institute purchased 13 acres on Williams Road in Springettsbury Township and broke ground in the summer of 1994 for a new 60,000 square foot facility.

In July 1995, the Institute moved into its new campus and more technology programs were added.

At the beginning of 1999, another Associate in Specialized Business Degree program in Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management was introduced and in 2000, the Institute began offering a diploma program in Pastry Arts. The majority of the Culinary Arts/Restaurant Management program and Pastry Arts program were offered at the Culinary Arts Center of Lancaster County Career and Technology located in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania.

Due to the success of the culinary programs, YTI decided to purchase a 52,000 square-foot facility located at 3050 Hempland Road, Lancaster, PA, to accommodate its growing student population. Also, the new location provides the opportunity to add additional programs. In the fall of 2003, YTI closed the Mt. Joy locations and opened the Lancaster campus.

Due to strong market demands, the allied health division was created and started its first program, Medical Assistant in July 2004. Also in July 2004, the Public Safety & Security Administration (since renamed Criminal Justice & First Response) program began at the Lancaster campus. The Medical Office Assistant program started its first students in October 2004. Medical Coding was added in October 2005 and Dental Assisting in October 2006.

In 2006, the school changed its name to YTI Career Institute. Also in 2006, YTI purchased the Computer Learning Network schools in Altoona and Mechanicsburg.

The Computer Learning Network was incorporated in Pennsylvania as the Computer Learning Center, Inc. in March of 1982, and the first classes began in July of 1982. In June of 1987, the Computer Learning Center, Inc. was purchased by Continental Training Services of Indianapolis, Indiana. Shortly thereafter, the name of the school was officially changed to Computer Learning Network. In February 1988, the school was granted approval to operate a branch campus in Altoona, Pennsylvania. In June 1992, the Altoona facility was approved as a free-standing private career school. On November 12, 1992, the school was purchased by officers of the school under the corporate name of CLN Acquisition, Inc. d/b/a Computer Learning Network.

Medical programs were added to the school's menu of programs in 1994. In 2000 the Massage Therapy Practitioner program was added.

Due to the success of the motorcycle program, YTI decided to open the Motorcycle Technology Center, a 15,000 square foot facility located at 52 Grumbacher Road to accommodate its growing Motorcycle Technology program.

YTI has grown significantly from its small beginnings some 39 years ago and now serves a population of approximately 1000 students at the York campus, 600 students at the Lancaster campus, 200 students at the Altoona campus, and 400 at the Mechanicsburg campus. The YTI schools remain committed to its mission of serving the career and personal goals of students and meeting the employment needs of business in the local region.
