ADCaP Explained - Frequent Questions - Degree Programs - Admissions - Campus Map - Corpus Christi ADCaP (Adult Degree Completion Program)When the Adult Degree Completion Program (ADCaP) at the University of the Incarnate Word was started, we wanted to meet the needs of adults working full-time and wishing to complete their university degrees. We’ve achieved that goal, but in the process, our students have achieved much, much more.
At Incarnate Word, we strive to educate the whole person, and to share with our students the tools necessary to live happier, more enriched lives. This has been our Mission since 1881, and with the ADCaP, we’re now helping working adults get the same valuable education in an accelerated and affordable format. The ADCaP Program is offered at five sites: Alamo Heights Center, Northwest Center, Northeast Center, and the SAC Dual- Enrollment Center (all four centers located in San Antonio, TX) and our program at Del Mar College Center. A university degree will mean the successful completion of a journey you began years ago. What’s been holding you back? Too hard to squeeze classes into your already busy schedule? Has it been impossible to get the classes you need when you can take them? Take a close look at the ADCaP. We have the right programs, in the right places, and at the right times for you. With your bachelors degree complete, you’ll be ready to move on to new challenges and opportunities. As an ADCaP student, you’ll enjoy the personal attention of the University of the Incarnate Word staff. You’ll be among friends, not a number, but a person with potential and drive to be maximized. We want to help you finish school in less time and for less money. It’s just that simple. Call us – we have advisors ready to meet with you and get you started on the road to your degree. And best of all, it’s the University of the Incarnate Word!
Some frequently asked questions:1. What is the ADCaP program all about? It’s simple. Courses are offered in 8-week terms. You attend classes two nights a week and take one or two classes each term, totaling three or six credit hours. This plan allows you to complete as many as 36 credit hours in one year. 2. How long will it take to finish? That depends on two factors: how many semester hours of credit you have to apply to your degree plan, and how many hours of credit you take each term and each year. It is possible for a student to complete a maximum of 36 semester hours in a calendar year. 3. Is it for me? The Adult Degree Completion Program was designed for working adults. If you have been out of high school for at least five years, working in a full-time job for at least three years, and have sixty transferable college credit hours, then this program is for you. 4. Can I afford it? Cost of the Adult Degree Completion Program is about two-thirds of private education tuition. In addition, ADCaP Del Mar classes have an additional scholarship and the cost of books now is covered by the ADCaP program. Most are in electronic format (printing costs not covered). You may be eligible for some forms of financial aid. Early inquiry is advised. 5. How do I apply? See the section Transferring Into ADCaP, Del Mar Center.The format is as follows:
