GC Foundation Awards
Marlboro College Graduate Center is proud to serve the educational needs of working adults. Toward that end, the Graduate Center developed a curriculum and schedule that allows highly motivated students to complete our Master's Degrees within 11 months, the MBA in Managing for Sustainability in 24 months, and the Bachelor of Science in Managing Information in 24 months. At the same time, the center realizes that such an accelerated program brings exceptional demands to students - both academic and financial. Students who exhibit this level of dedication demonstrate a desire and capacity to excel, and Marlboro College Graduate Center believes they should be rewarded. It is in that spirit that the GC Foundation Award has been created. This award provides a $1,000 reduction in tuition, which is applied to the final trimester bill.
