Lynchburg College will host an information session for prospective graduate students on Tuesday, February 5, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Alumni House Lounge.
Lynchburg College offers course work leading to the M.Ed., the M.A. in English and history, and the M.B.A. degrees.
Those attending the information session will have an opportunity to meet with the dean of graduate studies, coordinators of the various graduate programs, and enrollment services staff to explore program features, benefits, and requirements. Information on financial aid and GRE and GMAT testing also will be available.
The college will waive its $30 application fee for those who submit a completed application during the information session.
The newest addition to the M.Ed. program is in the M.Ed. in reading, which will lead to a reading specialist endorsement and will concentrate on assessment and remediation of reading problems, explicit reading and literature instruction, writing technology, and research methodology.
Other M.Ed. concentrations include school and community counseling, educational leadership, special education, science education, and curriculum and instruction.
The M.A. in English focuses on developing scholarly expertise in reading, writing, and researching literature and language. The M.A. in history will focus on the Atlantic World and explore interconnections among major areas of Atlantic history.
The M.B.A. offers a generic program in addition to two alternative concentration tracks in health services management and financial services.
In addition, several non-degree options are available, including a certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD); coursework for teacher licensure including the LC Teach Program; counseling licensure; license renewal; and professional and personal enrichment.
