BS University Studies

The bachelor science in university studies provides students a program to design their own degree plan and obtain faculty assistance and approval for their nontraditional approach. Students work with university studies program advisors and in the introductory class to design a specific, individualized course of study around a focused theme, which is otherwise not available in traditional university majors, related to their career goals. The university studies program cannot be used to bypass requirements of an existing program or otherwise replicate an existing major. The program director and the university studies Faculty Oversight Committee (FOC) must approve each student's degree plan and proposal to ensure academic rigor and help the student select courses that best meet their academic and career goals.
