Everything You Want to Know
A bachelor’s degree in professional studies is a four-year degree that prepares students for both career advancement and graduate studies. It is more career-focused and practical in nature than a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.). It meets the same standards and rigor as any other degree the College of Charleston offers. You may elect to concentrate your B.P.S. degree in one of four in-demand areas of study: applied communication, healthcare and medical services management, organizational management and development, or project management.
The College of Charleston's B.P.S. curriculum challenges students to be innovative 21st-century thinkers while applying classroom concepts to work-related tasks. Our flexible, online degree program allows students to learn concepts in the evening and apply them as soon as the next day on the job.
Most students taking a full-time course load can complete all major requirements in two years. Transfer credits, program prerequisites and elective credits will be used to meet the 122 credits needed to graduate. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor prior to transfer to maximize transferrable credits.
