Degree Completion Program<\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p>69色情视频&#8217;s Degree Completion Program (DCP) provides returning adult students a fully-mapped out pathway to finishing their undergraduate degree on an accelerated schedule. \u00a0The Degree Completion Program offers two accelerated majors:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Contemporary Arts with a Professional Communications concentration<\/li>\n<li>Social Science with a Society and Culture concentration<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These accelerated majors combine online, hybrid and evening classroom study on a part-time, year-round schedule (fall, winter, spring and summer).<\/p>\n<p>In general, DCP students should have at least 64 transfer credits, either through an Associate\u2019s Degree or through a combination of transfer credits from previous institutions.\u00a0 Students must be part of a Degree Completion Program cohort in order to enroll either in one of the DCP accelerated majors or in a DCP section of a course.<\/p>\n<p>DCP majors provide the same courses required by the major, along with any school core requirements, as part of the mapped curriculum. \u00a0The Degree Completion Program assumes that a student has successfully completed Ramapo&#8217;s general education requirements prior to enrollment. \u00a0However, students who need to complete outstanding General Education requirements or elective credits can do so through advisement from the program director.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"facultyListing\"><span style=\"color: #800000\">CONTEMPORARY ARTS:\u00a0 PROFESSIONAL
