How long does it take to complete my undergraduate degree?

Is it possible to enter this bachelor's degree completion program without deciding my specialization?
Some students enter with a clear idea about their focus. Others do not. Your adviser can help you find ways to think about and articulate your field of study. It all depends on your unique educational purposes. Your interests may start out fairly vague and gain in definition over time. You may begin the degree process with a set of general questions about certain topics or disciplines that pique your curiosity. As you move through the degree process, you develop a more focused sense for your academic specialization.
Can I use courses I’ve taken at other institutions to meet the requirements of this area of concentration?
Yes. Students transfer in previous coursework taken at community colleges and at other universities.
Can I complete more than one academic concentration?
Students sometimes find it desirable to complete a second area of concentration. In this case, only 35 credits are required as a minimum for the additional area.
