Professional Studies (BPS)

Bachelor of Professional Studies

The BPS was developed to afford interested adults several general studies options which enable those students with diverse interests and prior college credits to develop a degree program that matches their career goals and, if appropriate, their employer’s needs. These programs are particularly ef­fective for students with many credits from other colleges or for students who believe they may use assessment and testing to earn credit. This program is offered at the main campus or online. Students develop these programs with an advisor from the dean’s office.
