If you live near Manchester and you are interested in completing a bachelor's degree that is convenient and affordable, a new Eastern Connecticut State University program may be perfect for you! 

The School of Continuing Education at Eastern is offering courses at Manchester Community College leading to a Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree with major concentrations in "Management" and "Human Services".  Other concentrations are possible depending on the credits that you have already.

The Eastern programs at MCC are "Fast Track" programs designed for working adults.  Courses meet in 7-week modules, either on Saturdays for Human Services or on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for Management.  Other Eastern courses needed for the bachelor's degree can be taken online or hybrid through Eastern.

For more information, visit http://www.easternct.edu/ce/ and click on "Fast Track". To speak with an advisor about these Eastern programs, call (860) 465-0206 and ask for Joanne or George.
