“Not everyone has years to spend earning a degree in a traditional college setting. Many people are actively employed but are interested in earning a promotion, or pursuing a complete career change but are missing that certificate or boost to get them there. Other folks may be between jobs but want to do something to make a sizable difference in their income in their next job, or to address an interest which enables them to get the job they have always wanted or take a step on the career ladder in the direction of the career they are most interested in. Upright’s quick, effective, and all-in-one online programs allow people with time restraints to gain that higher education or certificate completion within 12-24 weeks. We, at Corning, are excited to be joining in partnership with Upright and allow our future students this opportunity.” - Tyré C. Bush, SUNY Corning Community College’s Senior Director of Workforce Education and Academic Pathways.
