ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

COLLEGE PROGRAM The Beacon College faculty is committed to helping students achieve individual success. Faculty members facilitate instruction by designing appropriate learning accommodations that reflect an understanding of different learning styles. Meetings allow faculty to discuss teaching methods and effective intervention techniques while assessing student progress. An emphasis on self-awareness and critical thinking focused on strategies for lifelong learning are facilitated by faculty and students working together. A low student faculty ratio provides the opportunity for individual attention while fostering the competencies necessary for success. STUDENT’S CHOICE OF CATALOG In order to graduate from Beacon College, students must satisfy the graduation requirements as stated in the catalog in effect for the first semester of their attendance as a matriculated student. A degree seeking student may choose a later catalog published during his/her continuous enrollment. Continuous enrollment is defined as enrolling as a degree-seeking student at least one semester each twelve month period. If the student cannot meet all of the graduation requirements specified in the catalog of his/her choice due to decisions and changes by the College in policy matter, course offering, etc., appropriate substitutions will be determined by the chairperson of the department or program of the student’s major.
