About
Do you seek unique paths? Are you looking for a degree that you can tailor to meet your specific academic and career goals? Have you debated or wandered between different traditional majors but cannot pick just one (or more)?
The bachelor science in university studies provides students a program to design their own degree plan and obtain faculty assistance and approval for their nontraditional approach. Students work with university studies program advisors and in the introductory class to design a specific, individualized 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. The program director and the university studies Faculty Oversight Committee (FOC) must approve each student's degree plan and proposal to ensure academic rigor and help the student select courses that best meet their academic and career goals.
This program is perfect for students with a higher number of completed credit hours, transfer students, "part-way home" 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.
ECU Advantage
ECU's approach through the bachelor of science degree in university studies allows the individual student to attain full academic potential and clarify and achieve educational goals. It supports the university's commitment to access by removing barriers to university completion for many students and the commitment to success by providing students with rich opportunities for meeting individual career and/or academic interests.
Additionally, the major's design allows students who have completed a high number of credit hours to fashion a program to complete a meaningful degree that, in most instances, can utilize previously completed course work.
