Program Description
The College of Adult Professional Studies was created to meet the educational needs of working adults so they can realize their dreams of earning a college degree. CAPS presents a curriculum through which a student may earn an Associate’s and/or Bachelor’s degree by attending classes at times and in formats compatible with full-time employment. We offer an accelerated, flexible learning format with 8-week terms. Classes meet primarily in one of two accessible formats: either fully online or in a flex/hybrid-online model that allows students to attend for one night per week beginning at 5:45 P.M. or 7:55 P.M. Final exams are either incorporated into the course or scheduled following the last classroom meeting. To be considered full time in the Professional Studies program, a student must enroll for 12 hours each semester.
Thirty semester hours of credit may be earned in each academic year (six hours in each eight-week term), making it possible for a student to complete all degree requirements in fewer than five years. Academic work transferred from other colleges will shorten this time proportionally.
