Bachelor's Degree Plus Programs (BA+)
Our Bachelor's Degree Plus Programs (also known as articulation agreements) provide a complete educational path for careers that require a bachelor's degree and an advanced degree such as a master's degree or a doctorate. 91视频 has worked with some outstanding institutions in our region to create curricular pathways that lead to not one, but two degrees.
This page provides brief information about each program by degree type (for example, physical therapy or engineering). Please note that program details vary based on curricular requirements. Some agreements allow students to begin their graduate work at the end of their junior year鈥攕aving a full year of tuition. In some areas of study, such as Dental Medicine and Law, we have articulation agreements with multiple institutions.
