HOW THIS WORKS

This undergraduate program is structured with two areas of focus that, when completed, will provide you with two distinct degrees. First, you’ll complete associate-level classes designed to give you foundational knowledge while still featuring focused core classes in your area of study.

You’ll then transition seamlessly into the bachelor’s portion of the program, where advanced courses will allow you to expand your skills and give you even more hands-on experience.
