According to a recent study released by the U.S. Census Bureau, a bachelor’s degree can add an average of $23,000 to an individual’s income.  The Union University BSOL program allows students the opportunity to increase their earning potential while continuing to work. The Union University campus in Germantown, Tennessee is now accepting applications for the Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership degree completion program which will begin on August 12, 2010.  In this program, adult students with an associate’s degree (or 60 hours of college credit) can complete a bachelor’s degree in as little as eighteen (18) months attending class one evening a week.  Financial aid is available for the program.
