Dominican adds Strategic Management, Humanities to Ukiah Center Offerings
Dominican University of California has added two accelerated bachelor's degree programs to the course offerings at the University's Ukiah Center. Dominican now offers a BA in Strategic Management and a BA in Humanities through the Ukiah Center, located at the Mendocino County Office of Education.
Since 1984, Dominican has offered courses leading to a teaching credential and a master’s degree in education through the Ukiah Center. The new bachelor’s degree programs address the needs of students transferring from local community colleges.
Information sessions about the BA in Strategic Management, the BA in Humanities, and the teaching credential and MS in Education programs will be held on October 16 and November 13 at 6 p.m. at the Mendocino Office of Education, 2240 Old River Road, Ukiah. For more information, please contact Lisa Ray Kelly at (707) 463-4800, ukiah@dominican.edu.
Undergraduate programs are offered in eight-week sessions, with two eight-week sessions offered each semester. The curriculum combines traditional classroom instruction and online interaction. Faculty and students generally meet three times each session, while the online component requires weekly content from the instructor, facilitated discussions, and a variety of assignments.
Because of this ‘hybrid’ structure, the level of contact and workload over the eight weeks is comparable to that in a traditional 12-week semester. Weekend and evening classes are available.
The Strategic Management program is designed for students who want to earn a college degree with a business major. Students are grounded in the functional areas of accounting, human resources, and marketing from the perspectives of classic theory and current challenges in the Internet age. Students develop an understanding of how these areas affect one another and how they help to carry out the strategic purpose of an organization.
The Humanities program prepares students for life in a changing world through emphasis on the creative and interdisciplinary nature of liberal study. The synthesis of traditional and emerging knowledge allows students to communicate ideas clearly, make moral and ethical decisions, think critically and creatively, and work professionally and effectively individually or in teams. The Humanities program also provides an avenue for students to enter the teaching credential program.
