This will bring to a total of 15 sites where Geneva's DCP is offered. The first course will start August 21 for the Sharon-Hermitage site at the Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce. On September 13, classes will commence in Indiana at the Indiana Vo-Tech Center. Geneva was the first school in western Pennsylvania to provide a program designed specifically for working adults seeking to finish their bachelor's degree. To be admitted to the DCP, students are required to have a minimum of 64 college credits, plus five years of workplace experience.
Students stay with the same classmates throughout the program, taking one course at a time.
Actual work experiences are utilized in the classroom for immediate application of the course work. Because they qualify as full-time students, DCP participants may be eligible for financial aid.
