PROgram
Dean College
The Dean College professional resource opportunities program (PROgram) functions as a platform for employees of our business partners to earn a certificate, an associate or baccalaureate degree through courses offered at their workplace, and to leverage a catalog of corporate training options. Dean College School of Continuing Studies works with business partners to create specific curriculum and course sequencing for each organization’s needs. Classes can be delivered virtually online or on-site at their workplace by Dean College faculty, typically one or two evenings per week, with additional online and on-campus offerings available. The students receive individual one-on-one advising from a Dean staff member, and transfer credits are granted for any previously earned college credit. Typically, the employer pays Dean directly for the cost of tuition, books, and materials for participating employees and as an option, this program can be structured to operate leveraging the employer’s tuition reimbursement policy. In addition, custom training and employee development classes, as well as seminars, can be delivered online, on location, or on-demand using the latest technology platforms. Since its inception, this program has successfully served over 650 students.
