Harrison College to Offer B.S. in Business Management at Elkhart Campus

Indianapolis, IN, November 12, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Justin Elliott, president of Harrison College’s Elkhart Campus (http://www.harrison.edu), has announced that the College will offer a bachelor of science degree in business management at its Elkhart Campus beginning in January 2012. The program is designed for people who have already attained an associate’s degree in business management. Harrison College’s degree program is unique due to its flexible schedule where students are required to attend class only once every two weeks – a two-hour block every other Saturday – while the remaining coursework is completed online. Instructors are available to tutor students every Saturday. Most students will be able to complete the degree program in two years (seven quarters).

Quotes:
“Our decision to offer a B.S. in Business Management is based on feedback we received from the community,” said Elliott. “Many business leaders – including those that serve on our advisory board – have indicated that a bachelor’s degree is desired for many of the positions they have open at this time. For someone who is currently working and trying to raise a family, pursuing further education can be difficult. Sometimes, there aren’t enough hours in the day. But if you can complete the majority of your coursework online and attend class for only two hours every other Saturday, obtaining your bachelor’s degree becomes more manageable.”

“As the Elkhart community continues to diversify, I am pleased to see that Harrison College will be offering a B.S. in business management that can be offered to adult students looking to grow,” said Rachelle Shuff, service center manager for Teachers Credit Union in Elkhart. “This type of degree with flexible scheduling and an accelerated program for students will benefit the growing changes in the workplace. Harrison College listened to our local community and responded with an excellent program.”
