School Notes
In August 1986 the Pennsylvania Department of Education, State
Board of Private Licensed Schools approved CSB licensure to open a
second business school in Lancaster. The school was awarded
accreditation by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges
and Schools (ACICS) in December 1987. In August 1994 the Lancaster
School moved to its new location. The Lancaster campus includes 14
classrooms, a medical lab, a learning resource center, a student
lounge, and a student patio. The building is situated on 3.5 acres
with 200 on-site parking spaces available. The college offers
Associate in Specialized Business Degree Programs (18-Month) in
Business Administration: Management Trainee, Computerized
Accounting Management, Computerized Office Management, Legal
Administrative Assistant and Medical Administrative Assistant.
Diploma Programs (9-Month) are offered in Clerical Accounting
Specialist, Legal Office Specialist, Medical Office Specialist and
Office Associate. CSB is an authorized Microsoft Office Specialist
(Office Specialist) certification testing center. In addition,
certification tests are also available to graduates of CSB's
accounting and medical ASB degree programs.
Remedial education exists to help struggling students succeed in college-level classes. Unfortunately, the existing model may be doing more harm than good. Keep reading to learn more about the history of remedial education and what community colleges are doing to change it.
We look at the recommendations for improving completion rates in a new report issued by the Complete College Ohio Task Force, which includes financial incentives.
Although many students need some remedial education before beginning college coursework, statistics show dismal completion rates for those who begin in remedial classes. We take a closer look at the problem, as well as some of the ways colleges are tackling it.
