Structure of Degree Programs
1. No residency means that you work at home-no
classes.
2. Self paced. No time restrictions or requirements.
Take as little or as much time as you need. (Note: we encourage
students to try to finish within 9 months, but you may finish
in 2 weeks-it depends on your abilities, expenses, and
desires.
3. Use of L.E.A.P.* -- UofB's exclusive "Lifetime
Education/Experiential Assessment
Portfolio." You may already "have"
your degree and not know it! Through L.E.A.P., we'll determine
how many college credits you have earned for everything
you've done or learned, whether in or out of a classroom.
Some Examples:
| Self-taught computer skills |
Job Experience |
Movies you've seen |
| Books you've read |
Volunteer work |
Dance Study |
| Hobbies |
Attending Seminars |
Acting in a play |
| Travel |
Military experience |
Learning or speaking a foreign language |
| Tax preparation |
Community service |
Formal educational experience |
| Starting a business |
Continuing adult education |
Officer of a club/organization |
You will earn 20 credits simply by examining your life in
detail and completing the L.E.A.P. forms.
4. UofB accepts virtually unlimited transfer credits.
If you have credits from another school these are generally all
transferable to your degree program with us. Check with your personally
assigned professor.
5. Credit through independent study. If you lack
the credits necessary for your degree, you may in effect do "new
work" to fill in this "gap." You would be led through
the new work or our extension education program by your Faculty
Instruction Coordinator (F.I.C.).
6. Custom tailored to fit your needs. You
develop your curriculum, pick your degree and your major, with
assistance from your F.I.C., if needed.
7. Final Project or C.A.P*. The "Commensurate
Ability Project" is your way
of demonstrating your proficiency in your chosen field of study.
It is very flexible and could take the form of a traditional thesis/dissertation,
or you can create something of your choosing. Example include:
an original audio or video tape (demonstrating proficiency in
performing arts); a sculpture, painting or pottery; creation of
a computer program; the writing of a book or training manual;
an original work of prose or poetry or a thoughtful critique of
an existing work; or development of a community service project.
The structure of your C.A.P. is limited only by your abilities
and imagination.
8. Transcript. The UofB offers a unique way of
expressing yourself and completing your degree program. You
will earn credit for critiquing your life, work and final
project (C.A.P.). You will in essence help write your narrative
transcript.
9. Upon completion of the degree requirements as well as payment
of tuition in full, you will be awarded your degree, at which
time the University will send your diploma and transcript.
