Getting a four-year degree comes with its share of challenges. And, I applaud anyone who sticks it out to complete the task. Also, I stand with anyone who chooses to head straight into a career. Your path is your path. And, there's no one size fits all. But, if you find yourself in a situation where you have some college credits without the degree there's help if you want to finally finish it. Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina is offering drastically reduced tuition to residents who need to complete that degree.
The new program, known as "CCU Complete," offers a reduced rate one semester tuition incentive, according to WMBF. And, through the CCU Complete program students deemed eligible take up to 5 online courses for $100 each in one semester. And, trust me, as a parent of a CCU student, that's a great deal!
According to the guidelines, the student needs to be a current resident in South Carolina with college credit, but no degree. And, former students can participate as long as they haven't been enrolled at CCU for 4 consecutive semesters.
Of course, I know this probably applies to so many folks. I get it. Even with the best of intentions to finish that schooling life intervenes and plans change. And, for some that's perfectly fine. However, others simply want to finish what they started. Or, their career path improves with a degree. So, this is a great way to help put more folks into the local workforce.
So, if you find yourself in this position and wish to finish your degree, explore your options. And, to learn more about the CCU Complete Program visit coastal.edu. According to the site, eligible online undergraduate completion degrees include Bachelor of Professional Studies and Health Administration. And, eligible online undergraduate degrees include Hospitality, Resort & Tourism, Information Technology and Marketing. Plus, there's a form online to apply.

With the cost of college soaring, high school seniors and those looking to go back to school have tough decisions to make. In many circumstances, it doesn't make sense to go to a 4-year University. Whether you are looking to take a more specialized career path or just knock out some credits before transferring over to another institution to finish your degree. Regardless of your motivation community college is a great option and one that many people choose to pursue. Additionally, community colleges are cheaper than even in-state schools and have 100% admission rates. This makes them accessible to more prospective students. But which school should you go to? There are many community colleges in North Carolina. Some of your decision may depend on the field you'd like to study. There is also a discrepancy in cost between different schools.
