Bachelor of Arts in University Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in University Studies is designed for non-traditional students who have earned some college credit but no degree. This program is reserved for students who have earned at least 45 college credit hours and are at least 25 years of age. The program is offered in an asynchronous online format to allow students flexibility to complete the degree.

The Bachelor of Arts in University Studies specifies 30 hours of upper level coursework, however, institutional policy requires all students to complete at least 39 hours of upper level coursework to successfully complete the baccalaureate degree (see Requirements for Baccalaureate Degrees). Students completing the Bachelor of Arts in University Studies will work with their advisor to ensure this requirement is met.
