BETHEL — The Division of Accelerated Degree Programs at Teikyo Post University invites prospective students to an information/registration session in the distributive education room at Bethel High School, Bethel Educational Park, Bethel, on Thursday, April 20, from 5 to 7:30 pm.

The session is informal, enabling people to stop by any time during the posted hours. Those who have taken some college courses should bring a copy of their transcript(s) to receive a preliminary evaluation. It is recommended, but not necessary, to call 800/582-8250 to set up an appointment during the information/registration session hours.

Teikyo Post’s Accelerated Program allows students to earn either an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in half the time. The academic year is divided into five eight-week terms and classes meet twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings form 5:30 to 7:30 pm and/or 8 to 10:20 pm. Students can earn up to 30 credits in one year by taking two courses each term.

For those who wish to take courses via the Internet, Teikyo Post University offers several online courses per term. To find out more about the online program, prospective students are encouraged to check out the Web site at www.teikyopost.edu. Degrees in management information systems, integrated business, management, and criminal justice can be earned entirely online.

Newtown Christian Church began as the Newtown Church of Christ, initiated by the Go Ye Chapel Mission based in New York. The congregation met in Edmond Town Hall until land at the corner of Rock Ridge Road and Route 302 was purchased “for the consideration of $1” from Clifford Hansen of Brookline, Maine, in 1968. The church was built the following year.
