Mission

As part of Bellevue University’s regional leadership in innovative education, the College of Professional Studies was established in 1987 to offer working adult students accelerated ways to complete a full four-year bachelor’s program.

The goal is to offer students whose family, work, and civic responsibilities would otherwise prevent them from continuing their college education, the opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree through majors offered in an accelerated format and through additional, academically proven forms of learning.

As the first institution of higher learning in the area to offer this educational alternative, Bellevue University developed a wealth of knowledge and experience in both the academic and the administrative issues essential to students’ success in accelerated classes.

The College of Professional Studies specializes in developing and offering challenging, rigorous, relevant majors, and courses of particular interest and value to working adults.

The College of Professional Studies offers Bachelor of Science programs with an emphasis on putting business education to work. Majors in the College of Professional Studies combine the best of academic theory and knowledge with leading edge business practices. The Professional Studies curriculum includes several majors that are broadly applicable to business in general, as well as several focused on specific business environments.

Classes in the College of Professional Studies emphasize active learning. The College acknowledges a diversity of methods and means through which adults may achieve college-level learning, and accordingly, it credits bona fide learning from many sources toward the degrees it confers.
