Bachelor’s Degree Completion Program

If you want to earn a bachelor’s degree from a US university, and you’ve already earned some undergraduate credits, a Bachelor’s Degree Completion Program might be just what you’re looking for.

Perhaps you’ve completed an associate degree or a 2-year diploma, or you’ve already begun your bachelor’s degree studies in your home country. Bachelor’s Completion will allow you to finish your undergraduate degree in the USA with a streamlined study plan.

Why choose a Bachelor’s Degree Completion Program?

There are many reasons why a Bachelor’s Completion Program might be your best route to an American university degree:

  • Save time and money

    A Bachelor’s Completion Program allows you to transfer undergraduate credits from another university toward your bachelor’s degree, saving you time and money. Rather than the standard 4 years of study, you can finish a US bachelor’s degree in 24 months. If you’ve already earned a bachelor’s degree, Bachelor’s Completion is also a great fast-track option to get a 2nd degree from a prestigious university.

  • Simplified admission

    Applying to a Bachelor’s Completion Program is simple and straightforward. You do not need SAT or ACT scores, or outside assessments of your transcripts. On your Bachelor’s Completion Program application, you can also choose to be considered for conditional admission to select master’s degree programs after graduation.

  • Gain work exposure in the USA

    Bachelor’s Completion Program graduates are eligible for paid work experience in the USA for 12 months, through the Optional Practical Training (OPT) benefit. If you complete a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) degree, you can extend your time to up to 36 months.

  • International experience

    By studying a Bachelor’s Completion Program, you can experience the US education system and American university life first-hand. Understanding another language and culture is a key asset in today’s global economy, and many employers seek to hire people who have strong cross-cultural skills.
