Welcome to Degree Completion 

Degree Completion is geared toward adult working students who have had some college or currently have an associates degree. 

Bachelor's Degree Completion Programs:    
    Bachelor of Science in Business Management (BSBM)    
    Bachelor of Science in Environmental, Safety, 
                    and Health Management     (BSEM)

The bachelor's degree completion programs in business management, and environment, safety, and health management are offered completely online (Internet).  They are intended for working adults who have at least 62 transferable semester hours at the "C" or better level.  The bachelor's degree completion programs consist of the last 62 semester hours for a total of  124 semester hours. 

**Students accepted into these programs also must meet University competency requirements in the areas of math, writing, communication, and computer science.  Some competencies must be met before enrollment in certain courses in the program, while others may be fulfilled any time before completion of  the program.  Assessment tests are available in each competency area, or acceptable courses may be transferred in. 

Prerequisites for the BSEM program include inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry.  These or their transfer equivalents must be taken before BSEM 325 and BSEM 405. 

Courses meet online via a chat room once a week in eight-week blocks, with two successive blocks comprising a semester.  Two courses per block are the usual full-time load.  Those attending full time may finish in four semesters, if they have 62 transferable hours and meet all competencies and prerequisites.  The 62 semester hours required for the completion programs consist of 20 semester hours of general education and 42 semester hours of major courses.  All courses are worth four semester hours except for two-one hour courses in BSAD, and a two-hour research methods course in BSEM.  General education courses are interdisciplinary in nature, integrating two or more academic areas. 

Some courses from four-year institutions may be transferred in to substitute for some of the 62 hours required for the degree completion program.  At least the last 30 hours must be taken at The University of Findlay. 

Application packets are available from the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies.
