Division of Continuing Adult and Professional Studies

Neumann University also offers six accelerated degree programs through the Division of Continuing Adult and Professional Studies [CAPS]. Designed for the adult learner, the uniqueness of these degree programs is found in the Division’s six-credit seminar courses which enable working adult students to attend classes one night per week and receive six credits toward their degree. These six-credit seminars blend learning approaches in both an evening, online, and/or hybrid format, thereby allowing students to learn theoretical material and apply that theory
through the development of an Experiential Learning Project. The Division’s degree program options are listed below:

• Bachelor of Arts degree candidates may choose an accelerated baccalaureate degree program in one of the following content areas:
  • Behavioral Sciences
  • Self-Designed Liberal Studies curriculum*
• Bachelor of Science candidates may choose an accelerated baccalaureate degree program in one of the following content areas:
  • Organizational Leadership
  • Professional Studies
  • Self-Designed Liberal Studies curriculum*
    • For the Self-Designed Liberal Studies degree program at the baccalaureate level, academic concentrations are also available in the following content areas: Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Health Care Administration, and Human Resource Management. These academic concentrations may also be taken as certificate programs by those adult learners who do not wish to pursue an accelerated baccalaureate degree program.
• An accelerated, Self-Designed Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies is available through the Division of Continuing Adult and Professional Studies.

For additional information about any of these accelerated degree options, please refer to the Division of Continuing Adult and Professional Studies section of this catalog, or call the Division at 610-361-5440.
