Chicago Branch of Pacific College Offers Weekend Program
The Chicago branch of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (PCOM) will feature a new weekend program in fall 2004 to better serve those students whose commitments during the week prevent them from taking the classes they need. Three classes will be offered on Saturdays, and three will be offered on Sundays.
The new program comes as a result of student polls, which revealed that most prospective students would like to have the option of weekend classes.
"Many Midwesterners are full time workers; they do not have the time to attend classes during the week, but would gladly give up their weekends for a degree," said Chicago Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Park. "This is advantageous for PCOM because we would be able to admit interested students who would not necessarily have attended due to the limited schedule."
The new weekend program will allow students who have jobs, family and other weekday-dependent obligations to earn their degrees part-time. Though Chicago students will not be able to enroll in the new weekend classes until June 18, Park said that they are already excited about the new scheduling possibilities. Saturday classes will include OM1, Biology, and Clinical Counseling 1 & Medical Terms. Sunday classes will include Foundations, Tai Ji, and Anatomy 1.
