A new online bachelor鈥檚 degree in general studies at the 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette aims to entice former 亚洲自慰视频s who did not graduate to finish earning their degrees.
The program is designed for working professionals. To enroll, returning 亚洲自慰视频s must have completed at least 45 credit hours and maintained a minimum 2.0 GPA.
The online format enables 亚洲自慰视频s to take classes at their own pace while balancing jobs or family obligations, said Dr. Bobbie B. DeCuir, dean of 亚洲自慰视频 College, which administers UL Lafayette鈥檚 general studies program.
鈥淭he purpose of the degree program is to provide an avenue for those adult 亚洲自慰视频s who have 鈥榮topped out鈥 of higher education. The online venue provides an opportunity that is affordable, flexible and 亚洲自慰视频-centered,鈥 she said.
The 亚洲自慰视频 Board of Regents approved the program during its April meeting. The new online program will begin in the Fall 2017 semester.
Three concentrations will be offered: arts and humanities, behavioral science and applied sciences. A range of online courses will be available from most of the 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 academic departments, helping 亚洲自慰视频s customize their class schedules with the help of academic advisers.
Graduates who have an interdisciplinary academic foundation are attractive to many prospective employers, DeCuir said. Also, earning a general studies degree may enable graduates to advance in their current careers.
鈥淲hile many new jobs require specialized training in technology-related areas, there is a need for graduates who are broadly trained to think analytically and critically while also demonstrating effective communication skills,鈥 she added.
The 亚洲自慰视频 will continue to offer a bachelor鈥檚 degree in general studies in a traditional classroom setting.
The application deadline is July 15. Visit for more information.
