The University Studies degree completion program is designed primarily for students with 56 or more credit hours who want to finish their bachelor’s degree. Students design their own curriculum and work closely with an academic advisor to integrate prior coursework and map out a specific plan to degree completion according to WMU requirements. The program can be completed both face-to-face and online, includes academic concentrations, and 15 credit hours of core competencies focused on leadership communication, global citizenship, health, science and a capstone course. Either a B.S. or a B.A. will be awarded depending upon the subject areas selected.

University Studies is considered a degree-completion program. As such, students will not be able to declare University Studies as a second major. Likewise, students who have completed an undergraduate degree will not be able to enroll in University Studies as a second bachelor’s degree.
