University Studies Degree – Complete to Compete Program

The University Studies degree program is a 120 hour Bachelor of University Studies housed in the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President (Academic Affairs).  Any student who wishes to pursue a degree in University Studies must be enrolled in the Complete to Compete (C2C) program and be eligible for admission to the degree program.  To be eligible, the student must meet the criteria of an adult learner, i.e. must be at least 21 years old, have earned at least 90 semester credit hours, have not earned a baccalaureate degree, and must not have attended a postsecondary institution within the last twenty-four months.

The University Studies degree is designed to provide eligible adult learners who have not completed a baccalaureate degree a pathway to return to Mississippi State University to complete a degree.  The curriculum is individualized to meet the needs and career goals of the returning adult learner. An eligible student will meet with a C2C Coach and work with faculty to develop the best degree plan possible.
