Prerequisite for the Major

  • Undergraduate Degrees

    The College of Professional Studies and College of Arts and Sciences offer accelerated degree completion programs for working adult students who have completed an Associate's degree or a minimum of 60 semester hours of transferable credit from accredited institutions of higher education. Prior to beginning the cohort-based major requirements, the student must:

    1. Possess an Associate's Degree or 60 semester hours completed with a grade of "C" or higher from an accredited institution of higher learning. Copies of transcripts or diplomas must be submitted for assessment. Student copies are acceptable for preliminary evaluation; however, official transcripts are required and should be ordered as soon as possible.
    2. Be currently employed at least 30 hours per week in a work setting where the academic content of the major can be applied.
    3. Possess three years of significant work experience relevant to the major.
    4. Submit an Application for Admission, completed, signed, and accompanied by the $25 processing fee.

    Students meeting these qualifications will be granted full admittance. Applicants not meeting the qualifications for full academic acceptance will be considered by the Admissions and Standards Committee, which may approve exceptions on an individual basis. All applicants will be notified of the Committee's decision.
