ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

The Petree College of Arts and Sciences offers through the School of Adult and Continuing Education an alternative way to achieve a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies or Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies. Our school is designed to meet the needs and busy schedules of full time working adults, who are self-directed and highly motivated. The best candidate for this non-traditional format is an adult over age 22, who has completed approximately 30-60 credit hours or more from regionally accredited institutions and who has a minimum of three years work experience. Prospective students are evaluated on an individual basis for transfer of credit hours prior to admission so that both the institution and applicants agree that this is the appropriate program for them.

While the School of Adult and Continuing Education offers degrees as rigorous as the traditional B.A. or B.S. degree program, it generally differs from the traditional degree structure in the following ways:

1. The School of Adult and Continuing Education allows, where applicable, the use of non-traditional course study or other advance standing credits to fulfill degree requirements.

2. The School of Adult and Continuing Education allows adult learners to develop academic portfolios to document college-level knowledge and skills acquired from work, life experiences and training.

ENROLLMENT PROCESS

APPLY
An application can be completed and submitted at any time prior to enrollment.

Evaluation
After completing the initial evaluation, the prospective students should have a basic understanding of what requirements need to be fulfilled and which methods of earning credit should best meet their needs.

To be admitted to the program, students must have official transcripts from each institution, including vocational and military, mailed directly to the SACE Office of Admissions.

Transcripts stamped "Issued To Student" will not be considered official.
