Bachelor’s Degree Program for Autistic Students

The Sage Colleges in Albany, NY established a new online bachelor’s degree program designed specifically for students with autism or learning disabilities. The program, known as the “Achieve Degree,” begins on January 15, 2012. It is the first of its kind; while many colleges offer programs for students with learning disabilities, this is the first one that will specifically focus on autism (while not excluding students with other conditions) and that will award a bachelor’s degree.
