PACE Yourself! Cumberland College is pleased to introduce the PACE Program, named according to its initiative to Provide Adults a College Experience. The PACE Program is a non-traditional degree completion program designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary experience in education while majoring in Organizational Management. The College has implemented this new program to meet the unique educational needs of adults who wish to complete a bachelor’s degree in the evening through an accelerated academic program. PACE allows adult students the opportunity to return to college one night each week while working toward a bachelor of science degree. Students entering the program ideally: • Have completed at least two years of college, university, or technical school so that they have the equivalent of 60 semester hours credit or more. • Have professional work experience. • Are highly motivated to finish their degree. • Can schedule their time carefully and discipline themselves to meet the rigorous demands of this program. • Want to complete their degree in a Christian setting where the faculty and staff are sincerely interested in students and their future. • Are employed full-time. • Want to develop their gifts for leadership and management so that they can enhance their careers and their place within God’s kingdom. Program Emphasis The PACE Program is unique in many ways. First, the curriculum contains 18 modular courses to be taken in sequence. The term modular course signifies the integrated nature of this curriculum. It is not a collection of independent courses but a unified curriculum where each course is taken in sequence. The curriculum consists of a major in Organizational Management and prepares students for the widest range of career choices. In addition to the major, students in the PACE program must also take 15 semester hours of restricted electives to complete their major. These courses are specifically chosen to fulfill an interdisciplinary program to allow students to apply what they learn in a broad array of professional settings. Since students entering the program should have professional employment experience, the course of study will help them apply this practical experience in formal education for their greatest benefit. Each modular course is scheduled to be taken sequentially. Students are encouraged to plan ahead so that they can fit the program into their already busy schedule. The classes meet one night each week from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. for 24 months. The schedule is planned to allow time for holidays and a brief summer vacation. Students register as a group and move through the program together taking one modular course at a time. Such groups are called cohorts. The courses are scheduled over four semesters equaling 54 semester hours of credit. The curriculum is distributed in a series of Student Guides bound into notebooks with detailed assignments for each week, helping students plan their study schedules accordingly. Tuition and Fees Cumberland College will charge a standard tuition rate for each semester of the program. Students will be guaranteed that the tuition rate will remain constant if they continue with the same cohort group. Each semester the student will be charged $180 to cover college services and materials related to this curriculum. Students in the PACE Program are considered full-time students; therefore, they may qualify for various forms of financial assistance. Evaluating Alternative Education Experience The College will evaluate formal educational experiences gained in non-college settings. Where such courses have been evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE), the College will use the evaluation in the appropriate guide as a source for determining what credit might be given. Students may have had courses in specialized institutes such as banking or real estate, courses as part of vocational training in industry, courses in a technical institute, or as specialized training in the military. Cumberland College will evaluate such work according to standards established by accrediting associations. Credit by Examination Cumberland College will accept the results of testing by CLEP (College Level Examination Program) DANTES (the military equivalent), or by departmental examination. Credit by Demonstrated Competency (CDC) CDC allows a student the opportunity to prepare a portfolio describing specific work activities and life experiences and then to document the learning that resulted from these experiences. Material for this portfolio can come from a number of different sources, including workshops, seminars, self-study, non-credit classes, training courses and work experiences. On Site Locations Adults who are working full time may not have time to travel to the Williamsburg campus of Cumberland College. While the first cohort group will meet on the main campus of the College, later cohorts will form at other sites. Possible off campus sites will be in London/Corbin, Somerset and Harlan/Cumberland (in conjunction with the Southeast Community College). The College anticipates that two different cohort groups will start at each of these sites during the year.
