Degree completion admission process

 

Before applying for admission to Bluffton degree completion programs, you will receive details of the program and a clear understanding of the work expected at an information meeting. While these programs provide the convenience of attending class only one evening a week, you will need to keep up with assignments.

Once a student is accepted into Bluffton's degree completion programs, we anticipate a high rate of success. Student selection and assessment is critical to retention. BCOMP and HCM offer excellent opportunities to complete a bachelor’s degree to those who might not otherwise complete a degree.
