NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES NEW
DEGREE PROGRAM IN OMAHA
LINCOLN, Neb. - Nebraska Wesleyan University is
coming to Omaha.
Wesleyan’s Advantage Program, a program for
adult students offering courses leading to a degree in business,
will open for classes on August 25 at its new Omaha location.
“We evaluated Nebraska Wesleyan University’s
role within our state,” said Ted Hill, Director of Wesleyan
Advantage and Associate Dean. “The quality of our business
program can benefit the business community in Omaha and provide
an alternative to current offerings.”
“We look forward to working with the adult
student population and the corporate community in Omaha to ensure
the needs of both groups are met,” he added.
Two programs will be available in Omaha —
an undergraduate program in business administration and a graduate
certificate in project management. Wesleyan also plans to offer
a RN to BSN program in nursing. Hill said Wesleyan Advantage is
unique to Omaha because it offers a liberal arts education component
found in Wesleyan’s traditional undergraduate program.
“Our students will be immediately more effective
in their current workplace,” he said. “We are committed
to taking students into the program and helping them dramatically
improve their skills. We will help the students grow and change
for the better.”
Wesleyan first introduced Advantage to the Lincoln
area last year. Hill said the program is growing and now offers
five programs including bachelor’s degrees in nursing, social
work/sociology, a certificate in forensic science, and the two business
programs now offered in Omaha.
Wesleyan Advantage caters to adults by offering
an accelerated format and allowing for flexibility with multiple
start dates and course formats. Classes will be held once a week
at Wesleyan’s Omaha location, 11815 M Street, Suite 100.
Nebraska Wesleyan will hold four informational sessions
about its Omaha program on July 22, August 7, August 13, and August
21 at the Clarion Hotel, located at 4888 S. 118th Street in Omaha.
The programs begin at 5:30 p.m..
Informational sessions about the Lincoln program
will be held July 31, August 14, and August 20 at 5:30 p.m. at Nebraska
Wesleyan University, located at 5000 St. Paul Ave.
