Crookston updates (March 2016)

Online bachelor’s program top 15 nationally
UMC’s online bachelor’s degree in marketing has earned a top 15 national ranking among “2016 Most Affordable Marketing Degrees Online” from OnlineU.org. To be considered for this ranking, colleges were required to offer at least a bachelor’s degree or higher in marketing in a fully online format. OnlineU.org is a product of SR Education Group and is a free comprehensive guide allowing students to compare all online colleges in the U.S.

Implementation of new online registration form/process for advisors
OTR implemented a new online registration form/process for online advisors. The new process was implemented for a limited number of the spring 2016 registrations. The online process allows tracking of the registration form and provides immediate communication to both the advisor and the student once OTR has processed the registration request.
