At the School of Professional Studies, we are passionate about helping adults pursue their education while balancing the pressures of work and family life. SPS accepts applications on a rolling basis. Students may start a program in any semester.

We offer five bachelor degree programs with flexible online and on-campus classes:

Our programs are designed specifically to address the personal, professional and career needs of working adults. To this end, SPS offers:

  • Evening, accelerated and online courses.

  • Opportunities to gain undergraduate credit for college-level learning acquired through work and life experience (Prior Learning Assessment).
  • Flexible transfer credit policy (we may accept up to 84 credits - view our Transfer Credit Policy here).
  • Scholarships and transfer credit agreements for community college transfer students - view full articulation agreements and scholarship opportunities here.
  • Opportunities for accelerated transitions to our master degree programs through the Bachelor to Master Scholarship.
  • Convenient location on Metrorail Red Line and on-campus parking.
  • Tuition discounts and need-based scholarships.
  • Students who transfer in 84 credits may earn a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree completely online.

At the heart of our degree programs is a robust core curriculum designed to provide a strong liberal arts education. The liberal education core affords students a particularly broad and engaging educational experience.
