The online BA/BS University Studies degree is designed for flexibility so accumulated credits contribute towards degree completion. The BA/BS University Studies is perfect for students with a higher number of completed credit hours (you must have at least 60 earned hours to enter the program), transfer students, and military affiliated students. University Studies students receive guidance from expert career coaches and success coaches/advisors to design their individualized BA/BS University Studies degree to meet their academic, career, and/or personal goals while building upon their accumulated credits. After in-depth career coaching, the plan of study – which meets bachelor-level rigor requirements - is developed between the program coordinator, success coach/advisor, and the student.
