The University Studies degree program is a 120-hour Bachelor of Arts degree housed in the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students who desire to pursue a degree in University Studies must be enrolled in the (C2C) Program and be eligible for admission to the degree program. To be eligible, the student must meet the following criteria: must be at least 21 years old, have earned at least 90 semester credit hours, have not earned a baccalaureate degree, and must not have attended a postsecondary institution within the last twenty-four (24) months.
The University Studies degree is designed to provide eligible adult learners who have not completed a baccalaureate degree a pathway to return to Alcorn State University to complete a degree. The curriculum is individualized to meet the needs and career goals of the returning adult learner. An eligible student will meet with the C2C Coach and work with faculty to develop the degree plan.
