DEGREE PROGRAMS

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science

The College requires 136 credits for graduation, in addition to other requirements. On the satisfactory completion of these credits, and with the recommendation of the Faculty, the degrees of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science will be granted. Majors are offered in Biology (B.A. or B.S.); English, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, and Religion (B.A.); and in Education (B.S.). Prerequisite or corequisite to entering major programs for the B.A. degree is the Associate in Arts degree or its equivalent. Students interested in the B.A. or B.S. degrees should interview the appropriate program advisor as early as possible. B.A./B.S. students must spend at least two years (60 credits) in residence.

When students have completed four or five terms at the College, it is expected that they will be ready to enter a B.A. or B.S. program. Students who have applied for entrance to a major but lack the necessary grade point average will not be admitted on any sort of provisional basis. If students wish to continue in the College after six terms without declaring a major and are in good academic standing, they may continue for a maximum of one term in General Upper Division Study (GUDS). During this term, students should apply for admission to a B.A. or B.S. program or make other plans. Those students not enrolled in a baccalaureate program will have low priority in the awarding of financial aid.

For information on specific degree tracks, see the majors listed on the left-hand side bar.

Second Baccalaureate

Students with a baccalaureate (from Bryn Athyn College or elsewhere) who wish to earn another baccalaureate at Bryn Athyn College must do the following:

1. Apply for admissions to the degree program and satisfy all admission requirements.
2. Work out a program with the appropriate major advisor. Such a program will meet the degree requirements and include an additional 30 credits beyond the previous baccalaureate degree.
3. Obtain approval from the dean of the college or the associate dean of academic affairs.

Students whose degree is from another institution may be required to take certain background courses that would justify a degree from Bryn Athyn College.

Students whose first degree is from Bryn Athyn College will not be eligible for financial aid.

Associate in Arts

The Associate in Arts (A.A.) is a two-year liberal arts degree, offering 13 tracks or emphases.

A student must attend the College for at least three terms and have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better to receive the Associate in Arts degree.
