Many Philadelphia area au pairs have been asking if it was possible for the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC-CUNY) to offer educational courses in their area. BMCC, our partner, has asked us to pass along to you the following information:
In 2009,
The Borough of Manhattan Community College-City University of New York (BMCC-CUNY) began providing a new educational opportunity for students living in the metro New York City area. through their Learning Across America courses. Next they offered their program to students living in the Metro DC area.
They are excited to now announce an expansion of these courses in the Philadelphia area!a) Courses are offered through BMCC-CUNY
b) Certificate of completion will be issued by BMCC-CUNY
c) Classroom sessions will be held at Villanova University
Course breakdown for Philadelphia area students (exactly the same as NYC and DC area students):* Students register for a course on the
BMCC-CUNY website* Each course consists of 3 classroom sessions (10am - 4pm on 3 separate dates, always a Saturday or Sunday) and a mandatory tour (included in the tuition price) to the destination studied.
* Outside work will be required of each student
*Upon successful completion of the classroom sessions and tour, a certificate of completion will be issued showing 4.5 CEU's (or 45 hours) have been earned
We hope that the Philadelphia area will be as excited about this new offering as those in the NYC and DC areas!
