Program Description:
“The Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies is a unique program that provides students with opportunities to complete their college degree and provides a solid academic foundation to prepare them for advanced studies such as the Master of Arts, Master of Science, and Master of Divinity degrees offered by Amridge University. Through a combination of traditional academic course work, life experiences, portfolio development, transfer of prior military course work, and credit by challenge examinations, students are guided through a learning process that culminates with the completion of a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies (128 semester hours). In instances where students possess the equivalent of 64 semester hours of college-level work, including an Associate of Arts or Science degree, students enrolled on a full-time basis can complete this program in 12 months. In addition to providing students with a solid academic foundation for advanced degree work, the Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies degree will be a valuable asset in career enhancement and growth opportunities. This program also serves as a foundation for graduate-level degrees in Organizational Leadership and Management, Pastoral Counseling, Ministerial Leadership, Professional Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy degrees offered by the University.”

All undergraduate program courses at Amridge University are primarily online. There are no abroad opportunities for this program. But if students have access to the internet across the world they are able to enroll into the school and communicate to their professors via email. For example: there are many students who are in the military and are taking courses online overseas.
Student Support: Individual programs at Ambridge University do not have their own academic advisors. The students are assigned to a specific advisor by their last name regardless of what their major is or what program they are in. provenance canton
