How the Program Works
Choose 1 of 2 Concentration Options
The BPS bachelor's degree program allows you to choose from one of two concentrations, each including the added value of a Certificate of Undergraduate Studies (CUS):
- Organizational Leadership (CUS in Workplace Diversity)
- Social Services (CUS in Nonprofit Studies)
Each concentration emphasizes diversity and ethics, while teaching concepts and skills delivered efficiently and accessibly that are required for career advancement. There is also a foundation in the arts and sciences through the BPS general education requirements.
Take 2 Courses at a Time
The BPS is designed to fit within a busy working adult’s schedule. Here’s how it works:
- program runs during the Fall and Spring semesters
- each semester is split into two 7-week sessions
- 2 courses are taught in each session
- courses are delivered in a blended online format
- synchronous courses in each semester are taught back-to-back on the same day of the week
Fully Online: Synchronous and Asynchronous
Courses are delivered in a blended online format:
- asynchronous = students view course materials and complete assignments without specified class meetings
- synchronous = students and instructors are talking, teaching, and learning via Zoom in real time
Please Note: Only the following courses meet synchronously: COMM 208B/COMM 333B (offered in the fall), COMM 454B (offered in the spring), ENGL 230B (offered in the fall).
