The new Lenoir-Rhyne University Center for Graduate Studies of Asheville, opening in August in the Chamber of Commerce building, is offering a one-time special discount rate for students entering in the fall 2012 semester. Any student taking six or more credit hours will receive a 10 percent discount on tuition during the fall term.
“There are so many benefits to getting an advanced degree,” says Paul Knott, Ed.D., center director. “In this economy, the cost of going back to school can be intimidating. We hope that this special offer can make it a little easier for potential graduate students in Asheville and beyond.”
The Center will offer the following degree programs:
