Degree Completion Pathways Program Offerings
Degree Completion Pathways
To ensure a smooth transition to your bachelor’s degree completion pathway program, please schedule an initial appointment with your academic advisor. Remember, these are alternative pathways, using evening classes at the Springfield campus or online classes, or combinations of the two modalities. Alternative pathways allow you to obtain a degree in the evening or online, as opposed to completely during the day. Classes offered through alternative pathways are exactly the same subject matter and require the same level of academic rigor as do the day classes. For more information, call (417) 836-6929 and make an appointment to meet with one of our Adult Student Advisors.
Projected Course Offerings
After you have chosen the bachelor’s degree pathway you wish to complete, you may find the projected rotation of course offerings, going out two years into the future.
