A carefully developed and focused curriculum in conjunction with the personalized support and guidance of the Success Coach and professional advising staff within University College ensure students stay on track to graduation.
The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies program is designed around the diverse and busy lives of working adults over the age of 25 who are looking to continue their college education but need the support and flexibility of a non-traditional undergraduate degree program. Classes are fully online and are scheduled in 8-week terms. This provides maximum flexibility for busy adults while allowing for an accelerated degree completion timeline.
From the point of admission to graduation, students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies program work directly with an academic Success Coach. The Success Coach guides students through the transfer credit evaluation process, ensures accurate course registration, and provides support towards degree completion.
Students finance their education in a variety of ways. Different factors may impact what your out-of-pocket costs are, including when you plan to attend, how many credit hours you will take, and if you qualify for financial aid. Students in our degree completion program only pay undergraduate tuition; all student fees are waived. We can also help you explore your Financial Aid options, including loans, scholarships, and grants, like The Garden State Guarantee Program.
