The University Studies degree is a new, unique, flexible academic program that allows adult students the opportunity to obtain an undergraduate degree from the University of Evansville. Students may choose either the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.

The Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degrees in University Studies offers two distinct pathways for degree completion.

Pathway 1 is for adults who have already earned an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science or its equivalent (60 hours).

Pathway 2 is for adult students who have not earned any previous college credit or have a limited amount of credit earned.

Tuition

The University of Evansville has an excellent reputation for a high value education at an affordable price. You’ll be pleased to find our adult undergraduate degree completion programs competitively and affordably priced, without compromising on the high-quality education all UE students experience.

Flexible Classes

The flexible nature of this program provides courses available in both the traditional classroom and in an online format. The student will work directly with their advisor to map out a distinct academic plan and will choose courses that work best to satisfy the needs for the degree completion.

To still be able to benefit your family by getting a better job, better education and in a way that you can still take care of your family is big. The Center for the Advancement of Learning program allowed me to do that.

Experience Matters

Adults who have little to no college credit have the opportunity to apply for up to 12 hours of prior learning credit. The student must be admitted to the program to submit a portfolio for review for each course for which prior learning credit is requested. There is a standard fee for portfolio assessment and for the college-equivalent credit awarded.
