Overview

The Bachelor of Science in University Studies provides students at East Carolina University a program to design their own degree plan and obtain faculty assistance and approval for their non-traditional approach. Students work with University Studies Program advisors and in the introductory class to design a specific, individual course of study around a focused theme, which is otherwise not available in traditional university majors, related to their career goals. The University Studies program cannot be used to bypass requirements of an existing program or otherwise replicate an existing major.

Learning outcomes

The Program Director and the University Studies Faculty Oversight Committee (FOC), must approve of each student's degree plan and proposal to ensure academic rigor and help the student select courses that best meets their academic and career goals.

This program is perfect for students with a higher number of completed credit hours, transfer students, "part-way" students (adult learners who left college without a degree), and military personnel, veterans, and their family members who need a degree that can be tailored to their desires, but accepting of accumulated credit hours.
