Degree Completion Programs

Most of us have known the feeling of starting on a project, but never completing it. Perhaps, you may have been sidetracked during the pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. There are many reasons why some never finish their degree. Some of these reasons include a lack of financial resources, an opportunity to begin a career, family responsibilities, and relocation.

Life happens, and you may not have been able to complete your educational goals. However, you are not alone. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 28.58% of American adults over 25 years old either started college and never finished or never progressed beyond an associate degree.
