Hybrid Saturday BA Degree Completion Program at SSU
Designed for the Working Adult, featuring monthly Saturday meetings and weekly online seminars
The Hybrid Saturday Liberal Studies Degree Completion Program offers an alternative route to a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies for working adults who have completed lower-division coursework and whose schedules do not permit them to attend regular campus classes. Instruction is organized around one full Saturday seminar per month on campus, combined with weekly online seminars and ongoing reading and writing assignments.
This innovative program provides a pathway to a Liberal Studies B.A. through student-centered learning. The curriculum is designed around the Hutchins pedagogy, which emphasizes dialogue in seminars and online discussions, and project-based activities within a cohort of students who learn together in four, semester-long transdisciplinary courses taken over two years.
