Whether you’re a recent community college graduate or have been away from school for a number of years, Ramapo College’s Degree Completion Program (DCP) provides returning adult students with the flexibility you need to make finishing your undergraduate degree a reality.
Our evening adult majors in Social Science and Contemporary Arts: Professional Communication accommodate both full-time and part-time working professionals, regardless of their professional or academic background. And our unique flexible structure lets you choose the course format that’s best for you.
You can attend 8-week in-person evening courses that meet on our Mahwah campus once a week and are comprised entirely of adult learners like you. Or you can opt for 15-week fully online courses that allow you to work independently without coming to campus. Both pathways lead to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.
I invite you to explore the Degree Completion Program (DCP) at Ramapo College of New Jersey, a uniquely adult-focused option for returning students who want to learn in a setting that recognizes the complexities of their lives.
Whether you want to improve your options for career advancement and job mobility, to demonstrate the importance of education to family members, or finish a journey you started years ago, Ramapo’s Degree Completion Program provides you the flexible structure and individualized support to help make that goal a reality.
With more than 300 graduates to date, the Degree Completion Program has enabled students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds and career paths to earn their their bachelor’s degree. I hope you find our program to be the right fit for you as well. If you have any questions or want to learn if this program is right for you, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at plaprey@ramapo.edu or 201-684-7388.
