More about MCLA’s degree completion, graduate and certificate programs:
Degree Completion
The MCLA Degree Completion Program is designed for adults seeking an accelerated, non-traditional pathway to completing a bachelor’s degree. Each program is delivered in a cohort-style learning format, allowing students to work and study with a group of their peers and proceed through the program together. Classes are offered in the evening and online to help students meet the demands of work, family, and academic classes. Students in the program may be eligible to earn credit for prior learning in work and life experience. Additional college credits may be awarded via the College’s transfer credit process, and through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). More info at mcla.edu/degreecompletion.
Graduate Programs
The MBA program is designed for working professionals who want to earn an MBA without interrupting their lives. This program will prepare students for the next level of their career. The graduate program in education will prepare students for leadership as a master teacher, specialist, administrator, policy maker, or other education professional. More info at mcla.edu/Academics/graduate.
Certificate in Principles of Accounting
The Accounting Certificate is ideal for small business employees, those in career transitions, or those interested in building professional credentials. Aspiring bookkeepers and entrepreneurs will also receive academic benefits from this certificate. The program emphasizes skills using MS Excel, QuickBooks, and skills employers are seeking. The program may be completed in just over one year for students attending half-time. All courses in the certificate are eligible for transfer to MCLA’s Business Administration degree if graduates decide to pursue the degree. The program is a great alternative for students who may not be seeking a degree or CPA-preparation. Experiential, hands-on learning will be included in the program.
Certificate in Network Security
The Certificate in Network Security will provide participants with a strong, undergraduate-level foundation in networking, network security, troubleshooting, and problem-solving for computer networks. The Certificate in Network Security provides excellent preparation for a variety of career paths in business, education, non-profits, human services, or any endeavor that relies on networks and information technology.
