As an adult learner, no doubt you are
interested in achieving your goals
quickly and conveniently in order to move your career
forward. This is where an accelerated
degree program is the perfect answer as it offers students the benefit of
taking fewer classes and completing a degree faster, which ultimately saves
both time and money.
We would like to introduce you to
Governors State University’s excellent accelerated Bachelor of Arts in
Interdisciplinary Studies degree program.
This unique program not only offers adult learners flexible schedules and adaptability
suited to busy lifestyles, but also awards college credits based on prior work
and life experiences to use toward a bachelor’s degree.
So how does it work? GSU’s program permits students to transfer up
to 80 lower division courses earned in the past to be used toward their
undergraduate degree. To receive college
credit for past work or life experiences, you will need to consult with a
department advisor to determine your eligibility.
Prior learning credits are based on
activities that include military service and work or life related
experiences. Prospective students also
have the choice of taking competency exams such as the CLEP (College Level
Examination Program©) or DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education
Support©). Another approach to earning
college credits
for life and work experiences is to prepare a prior
learning assessment portfolio. Once
submitted, faculty evaluators will assess your portfolio to determine the
proper amount of course work that has been mastered.
Earning a Bachelor of Arts degree will improve
your employment opportunities, provide better job security, and help to increase
your earning potential. Please see our
website for the full requirements and details regarding this exceptional
program.
Did
you know that Governors State University offers several off campus learning
opportunities including the Naperville Learning Center? These locations offer
added convenience to students in all areas of Chicagoland. Once you
discover all that GSU offers, we are sure you will agree that we provide the
best value of any of the colleges in Illinois.
