Meet Marissa – A Fast-Track General Studies graduate:
Feeling discouraged after sitting out several semesters, I happened upon the CALL program at BPCC while surfing the internet in search of a solution to my educational woes. That day I got in touch with a CALL enrollment counselor, who had me provisionally enrolled by the end of the day! As it turned out, I would be able to focus my efforts on a single class at a time and still complete my degree in record time. In this set-up, my academic performance was its best since I resumed my studies after my initial hiatus. After graduation in May 2008 with my Associate Degree, I was able to secure an entry-level management position with a well-respected community bank.
Meet Stephen - A Fast-Track Computer Information Systems graduate:
Participating in the CALL program was a rewarding experience. The flexibility of the online courses allowed me to return to college without any added stress or change in lifestyle. Although the courses are fast paced, it is possible to complete the courses. The only advice I have for other students taking CALL classes is to stay ahead of assignments and to communicate with the instructors.
I sincerely appreciate the staff at BPCC. Without the help of these understanding people, I would have never been able to succeed in college classes. For me, the CALL program was the best way to achieve my goals and receive my associate degree.
Meet Christy - A Fast-Track Computer Information Systems graduate:
The CALL curriculum is not easy by any means but the reward is well worth the work. The fast pace curriculum allowed me to achieve something I have been working on for a long time. Now that I have completed the first phase of my CALL journey, I am eager to begin the next.
April shares her experience after 1 semester:
The CALL program is an exciting fast paced journey to a successful future. It definitely requires dedication and self discipline, but the end reward is worth the work!
Simone, a CALL-Business Administration major, reflects on her year in a fast-track program:
I think entering the CALL Program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am trying to encourage some of the folks I work with to
try out the program. It is definitely worth the time and effort spent. Although I would have preferred to be in a classroom setting, it's
just that my schedule would not allow it so I did what I had to do. My husband saw what I was accomplishing and how the folks handling the CALL Program were helping me. He decided to try the program out. All in all it is a wonderful program.
