Penn Foster College to Launch Two New Bachelor Degree Programs

Scottsdale, AZ. October 1, 2008 – Penn Foster College, one of the nation’s largest online colleges, has launched two new Bachelor Degree programs in Business Management and Criminal Justice.

According to Dr. Richard W. Ferrin, President of Penn Foster College, the institution has been receiving requests for more advanced degree for years. “Offering BS programs was a logical extension of our mission statement”, said Dr. Ferrin, adding, “Students interested in the Bachelor’s programs will have the same affordable, accessible, and flexible education as our Associate Degree students.”

At this time, the Bachelor Degrees are completion programs meaning that students must have an Associate Degree or a minimum of 60 college credits from an accredited institution prior to enrolling in either program. Students without the minimum requirements can enroll in Penn Foster’s Associate Degree programs then transfer their credits to one of the Bachelor Degree programs.

The Criminal Justice degree will focus on topics including: correctional institutions, juveniles and the legal process and administration of justice. The Business Management degree will take our students through topics including: the legal environment of business, corporate finance, business research methods, as well as, international business.

Penn Foster College has more than 30,000 active students worldwide. Students study independently and, in many cases, more quickly than a traditional college. The college is ideal for those who have family and employment obligations. Penn Foster also offers individual financial plans to match students’ needs and financial resources.
