| Thanks to partnerships between UCAP and regional community
colleges, you can now complete courses toward your bachelor’s
degree closer to home and work.
Lakeland Community College (LCC) and Cuyahoga
Community College (CCC), Western campus have partnered
with Ursuline College to bring the Ursuline College Accelerated
Program (UCAP) Business Management or Health Care Administration
degree option to the Lakeland and CCC West campuses.
UCAP is an innovative accelerated degree program, designed
especially for professional men and women. Increasing
numbers of working adults are taking advantage of the
opportunity UCAP offers: the ability to earn their degree
in Business Management or Health Care Administration
in half the time of traditional semester-based programs.
Working adults know finishing a bachelor’s degree
can jump start their career, yet realize it’s a
balancing act to manage their many family, work and
academic responsibilities. UCAP’s accelerated classes
allow them to do just that. Each class meets only one
night per week for five weeks. With flexible step-in,
step-out pacing, continuing your education does not
mean putting the rest of your life on hold.
New Partnership
The Ursuline College Accelerated Program (UCAP) has
entered into an agreement with the Loretta
Paganini School of Cooking (LPSC) that will allow
LPSC graduates to earn 20 hours of academic credit toward
a UCAP bachelor of arts degree in either business management
or healthcare administration. Students transferring
from LPSC into UCAP must have completed professional
chef training or baking and pastry arts programs to
qualify for the academic award. Additionally, they must
meet UCAP enrollment criteria which includes a minimum
of 3 years full-time work experience and 30 semester
hours of acceptable college credit.
Loretta Paganini, CCP, founded the Loretta Paganini
School of Cooking (LPSC) in 1981. Located in Chesterland,
Ohio, LPSC is an affiliate of the Educational Institute
of the American Culinary Federation. The school offers
training and professional chef certification programs
for both the culinary and pastry arts. Individual enrichment
classes are also offered for both the professional students
and the general public. Hands-on food preparation techniques
and formal instruction by reputable chefs provide students
with a solid understanding of the culinary or pastry
arts, allowing for many employment opportunities within
the food, restaurant, hotel and catering industries.
Those interested in this program can find out more
about UCAP at an upcoming UCAP Information
Session.
