EWP is an educational alternative for adult learners who are unable to attend programs that are offered at traditional times during the week. The EWP supports the degree completion of Adult Nontraditional Learners who\u00a0are Professional Interdisciplinary Studies\u00a0majors. \u00a0EWP offers an option\u00a0to complete\u00a0your baccalaureate degree, whether\u00a0you plan to begin a college education, complete an interrupted college education, change your academic major, or transfer from another two or four-year institution. We are committed to providing our\u00a0Interdisciplinary Studies students\u00a0with the same high quality education opportunities provided to\u00a0traditional daytime students, while also accommodating their increasingly demanding lifestyles. The EWP\u2019s goals include providing a competitive degree program for working adults, as well as offering a full range of services. Such services include, but are not limited to admissions assistance, assistance\u00a0with\u00a0the financial aid process,\u00a0advising and scheduling. The Evening\/Weekend\u00a0Program within the School of Lifelong Learning\u00a0will provide you with\u00a0the same student support services you would receive if you attended\u00a0classes during the week, such as: Library, Academic Advisement, tutorial\/supplemental instruction, and Computer Lab.<\/p>\n<p>The Evening and Weekend Program is offered mainly after the regular workday between 6:00 p.m. \u2013 9:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, and 9:00 a.m. \u2013 12:00 noon on Saturday. The aim of the EWP is to help the adult population to balance the need for lifelong learning and professional development, with family obligations and work responsibilities. EWP students who attend classes year round, including summer sessions, can complete their bachelor\u2019s degrees in three years or less, if transferring credits to Jackson State University.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information about our Evening and Weekend\u00a0Program, please contact our Director of Student Support Services,\u00a0Dr. Gloria Smith, at <a href=\"tel:601-432-6138\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">601-979-8777<\/a> or <a href=\"tel:601-432-6234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">601-979-8724<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Evening &amp; Weekend\u00a0Program (EWP) is offered through\u00a0the College of Education and Human Development&#8217;s\u00a0School of Lifelong Learning.
