Wilmington University has
announced new course
options for its three New
Jersey locations, broaden-
ing the range of programs
and providing greater scheduling flexibility to
undergraduate students.
Starting in 2013 Fall Block I, the
University’s Burlington County
College site in Mount Laurel will
offer daytime hybrid courses in
Organizational Behavior and Intro
to E-Commerce. In Fall Block II,
Human Resources Management
and Organizational Development
will be offered in morning and
a ernoon hybrid formats.
Taught by expert Wilmington
University faculty, these new
business courses will combine face-to-face
learning with the convenience of online
learning to give students added flexibility.
At the McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst Education
Center (JB-MDL), a joint military base in
New Jersey, new offerings include hybrid
and face-to-face evening courses starting in
Spring Block I in Supervisory Management,
Organizational Behavior, Corporate Finance
and Business Ethics. Cumberland County
College has expanded its daytime offerings
and is planning to add Saturday hybrid courses
for students’ convenience. Those
courses would begin in Fall Block 1.
Each expansion is a response to
specific needs for that site and the
students it serves, said Assistant
Professor Robin Weinstein, who is
in charge of business programs in
the New Jersey sites. The JB-MDL
offerings, for example, highlight the
University’s desire to offer quality,
affordable and flexible education
to its military servicemen and
women. WU
