Southwestern Christian University Offers Quality Online Education for Christian Leaders
Bethany, OK (PRWEB) March 18, 2014 -- According to the 2014 Babson Survey “Grade Change: Tracking Online Education in the United States”, the number of students taking at least one online course increased by over 411,000 to a new total of 7.1 million. The survey also revealed that ninety percent of academic leaders believe that it is likely or very likely that a majority of all higher education students will be taking at least one online course in five years’ time.
Reggies Wenyika, Ed.D, Southwestern Christian University Provost, is among those believers. “Southwestern Christian University (SCU) academic programs continue to grow qualitatively and quantitatively. Our student-faculty ratio is 17 to 1 and we are proud to offer an environment and curriculum that cultivates the integration of faith, learning and living. These are just a few of the many advantages of the SCU educational experience,” said Dr. Wenyika, “At SCU, students are prepared to become competitive and ready candidates for the professional world. This uniqueness is evidenced in SCU graduates who have brought the light of our Lord Jesus Christ to the professional world for over 60 years.”
Appealing to Modern Students
As the proportion of higher education students taking at least one online course is at an all-time high of 33.5 percent, Southwestern Christian University has created career-concentrated degree programs that offer good growth and employment opportunities for the future.
SCU offers a fully online Bachelors degree in Professional Leadership (BPL) for both entry-level students and busy working adults by offering concentrations in Business, Management, Social Services, and Christian Leadership.
