Working Degree Programs

The promise of a decent hourly wage has lured many people into the workforce without having earned their Bachelor’s Degrees. It doesn’t take them long to realize that the lack of a Bachelor’s leaves them stuck without opportunities for advancement, a real barrier now known as “the paper ceiling.” It also leaves their employers without qualified candidates to promote within the business.

Even the U.S. government shows that “the paper ceiling” is very real without having a bachelor’s degree.

But your hard work and experience are appreciated, and Centenary University is here to help! Centenary University is pleased to offer the Working Degree Programs, a series of online bachelor’s degrees designed specifically for working professionals to empower you to permanently tear through “the paper ceiling.”
