Creighton University - Bluejay Yearbook (Omaha, NE)

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Have you ever been on campus at night and wondered why there were so many people around? There is a simple answer-University College. University College is a night school for part-time students. The college is ideal for adults who work full-time or who don ' t have the time to get away from home during the day. There is just one basic require- ment besides the normal admissions requirements-a basic desire to want to learn. A regular semester usually lasts 16 weeks, which includes 14 weeks for instruction. This equals a week of free days and a week for final ex- aminations. The courses generally begin at 6 p.m. and end around 9 p.m., with a break scheduled in bet- ween. University College is also an economical way to get an education. Students pay a tuition rate of $108 per credit hour for up to six credit hours. This is a two-thirds discount off the regular 1985-86 rate charged by Creighton Univeristy. The University College offers 11 majors for its night students. The majors range from accounting to statistics. It also offers degrees in the Schools of Arts Science and Business Administration. Beginning in the fall, the Universi- ty College started offering five new programs. There was Associate of Science degrees in three areas: computer science, mathematics and statistics. There was also a new statistics major offered by the Department of Mathematics/Com- puter Science. Another major which was new to the University College was history. There was also a Cer- tificate of History and a Certificate of Minisry available to night students. University College is a major part of Creighton and will likely continue to be a very important part of its future. 108
