Myers College Distance Learning Degrees
On-Campus or Online Degrees - MBA Degrees
 
A student may receive instruction at Myers University in a number of innovative and flexible ways, all of which are designed to meet the special needs of today's students.  In most cases, these formats do not limit the specific areas of specialization in which a degree may be earned; they merely affect the method by which a student pursues a course of study.  Myers University offers the following options:
Traditional Program
    Myers University offers traditional 15 week classes during the day and evening.  Students may take any combination of day, evening, or weekend classes depending on their needs.  Early morning and noontime classes offer an additional option for downtown business persons who wish to take courses within their normal working hours.  During Fall and Winter semesters, classes meet once, twice, or three times per week.  Thus, students may schedule themselves to minimize their days of attendance.
Myers University On-Line Courses ( from the Online Learning Center)
    Initiated in 1995, the Myers University On-Line Center enables students to complete course work electronically, through the WWW, online discussions, and electronic mail.  Students may use either a home computer with an internet service provider account or request an on-campus college account for working in the networked computer labs.  The content and objectives of on-line courses are identical to their traditional counterparts.
    The prospective student must be motivated for independent work that includes assuming responsibility for communicating regularly with the instructor and completing assignments on time.  Students must also possess demonstrated current PC, internet, and e-mail skills by having taken SC181 and/or MG281 or from on-the-job experience.  A minimum GPA of 2.5 is required to take on-line classes.
    Courses offered on-line are listed in the Course Schedule published each semester.  For additional information, visit the Myers University On-Line Center, or e-mail admissions@myers.edu.
Evening Weekend Program
    This program is offered at the Midtown Chester campus for students who are unable to take courses during the week or who prefer weekend classes.  A student can advance toward a degree by taking classes on weekends and evenings. 

Accelerated Degree Completion Program
    This program for adult transfer students is offered at Academic centers in Cleveland Heights, Rocky River, and Eastlake.  It is designed for students with motivation and self-discipline.  The program allows adult students with significant work experience and prior college credits to accelerate the completion of their bachelor's degree.
    Because of the inherent challenges of the program, only candidates with at least 60 semester hours of transferable college credit and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 will gain admissions to the accelerated degree completion program.  Candidates who do not meet these criteria must take the College Placement Test to determine academic level and suitability for the program. Other placement tests may apply.
Cooperative Education
    The Cooperative Education Program provides students with exciting and challenging work opportunities in corporations and businesses, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.  Students may receive college credits for these work experiences and earn a salary while pursuing their degree.  The program offers students an opportunity to test career objectives in an actual employment situation in their chosen field.  While working, students gain valuable experience and make contacts that can often lead to permanent positions upon graduation.
    The co-op experience can be used as major elective or Enterprise Activity credits in the regular curriculum of study that the student chooses.  The placement of the co-op experience in the student's program of study is carefully planned by the student and his/her co-op advisor.  To be eligible for the program, students must have sophomore standing, a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better, meet departmental requirements, and receive approval of the appropriate academic program director, dean, or chair. For more information on the Cooperative Education Program, visit the Career Resource Center.
Internships
    Students gain valuable work experience by applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations.  An internship is generally completed in one semester.  To be eligible for an internship, a student must meet prerequisites and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, permission of the appropriate director, chair, or dean, and permission of the intern director.
