The Bachelor of Science in Professional Studies (BSPS) meets the needs of students whose interests are situated between two or more disciplines and gives them the opportunity to explore multiple subjects, perspectives, and methodologies in a variety of academic and professional fields. Because the BSPS program can be completed entirely online or through a combination of online and on-campus courses, it is especially suited for students whose work-life situation requires more flexible scheduling. Most BSPS applicants have already earned an associate’s degree or prior college credit. Students pursue an interdisciplinary program of study that requires completion of a concentration in either Information Technology or Organizational Leadership. These concentrations equip students with knowledge of management information systems or with management and communications skills in preparation for work in business, industry, and government. Students enrolled in the BSPS program may not double-major at ETSU.
Admission Requirements
- Students apply to ETSU and must meet ETSU general admission requirements.
- Upon acceptance to ETSU, students complete an admissions interview with a Professional Studies advisor. The interview may be completed by telephone or electronic means. The purpose of the interview is to determine whether the Professional Studies major is the best option for the student, or the student would be better served by another degree program.
- Students must complete the Cross-Disciplinary Studies application.
- The Professional Studies advisor recommends admission or denial to the department chair, Division of Cross-Disciplinary Studies.
- The department chair accepts or denies the admission recommendation.
- Transfer credit is accepted only from accredited institutions.
