Overview

Did you start college a while ago, earn a lot of credit hours but had to stop out before completing your degree? Has completing your original degree been an unattainable goal because the courses you need aren’t available online and you can’t attend in-person classes due to your job or where you live?

Key Features

The University Studies program might be the solution for you to complete a general bachelor’s degree. For students who meet the eligibility requirements, this degree maximizes the way we can use all of the previous courses you’ve taken into the very flexible general education core curriculum as well as one, two or three emphasis areas. Half of the degree consists of elective courses, which is another way we can use a lot of those courses you have taken in the past that might not fit into a major, a minor, or an emphasis.

The University Studies program at the University of Mississippi is most beneficial to students with previous academic credit that can be transferred and applied as University of Mississippi credits towards a general bachelor’s degree. Many of the students have completed some college but were unable to continue due to life circumstances, financial concerns, or career demands. The advisors review your previous academic work to help you find the shortest path to earning your degree.
