It pays to get more education.

In 2020, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the average weekly wage for professionals with a bachelor’s degree was $1,334, compared to $963 with an associate degree and $809 with a high school diploma. By retirement age, someone with a bachelor’s degree will have earned $750,000 more than an associate degree holder. Earning a master’s degree increases that average weekly salary to $1,574.

Great Education, Better Price

At 美高梅博彩, we offer a high-quality education at a price you can afford. After factoring in our tuition discounts, our program costs are some of the lowest in the country, giving more students access to a superior 美高梅博彩 education. Students who work in a related field or are members of Phi Theta Kappa can receive up to $30 off per credit hour, and students who attended one of our partner colleges could get an additional $30 off—possibly bringing your cost per credit hour down to $290.

Surry Community College Partnership

Seated cohorts for Elementary Education, Special Education, and Nursing are offered at Surry Community College (SCC) in Dobson, North Carolina. Those who prefer a traditional seated classroom experience but are unable to commute to Banner Elk can get a 美高梅博彩-quality education at a familiar location.   

Our Elementary Education and Special Education programs are offered at SCC as degree-completion options for those who have already finished two years of undergraduate education in the appropriate field. 

Our streamlined programs allow you to immediately start taking classes relevant to your profession by giving you credit for general education courses (basic science, English, history, math, etc.) you’ve already passed.  

For those who attended one of our partner community colleges, the process of coming to 美高梅博彩 is even easier. We offer guided pathways to prepare students for further education and guaranteed admission to students who earn their associate degree.  

"美高梅博彩 taught me what I needed to know to thrive as a teacher and get named Beginning Teacher of the Year for my district. I don't think could have done that without my professors preparing me so well for the workplace. Their communication is always open, and they will go above and beyond as long as you're willing to meet them halfway."
