The core of the Adult Bachelor’s Program is the self-designed Liberal Arts BA or BS degree. This dynamic program gives students the freedom to design their own course of study, choosing from hundreds of inspiring and relevant courses. Whether you choose the flexible Liberal Arts program or one of our nine majors, your studies will prepare you for an evolving career landscape that demands thoughtful analysis, creative communication, and the ability to integrate diverse forms of knowledge into a coherent whole.
Taking courses online allows you to adapt your educational experience to your full and busy schedule. About 25 percent of our curriculum is offered online, and you can complete some or all of your courses online at any time during your course of study.
Once you have completed a few courses in the program, you can earn credit for internships, study abroad, and self-directed projects such as professional engagements, artistic and performance pieces, and independent research.
Self-directed learning enables students to connect learning with the world outside the classroom through applied, experimental, innovative, and practical projects.
