Bachelor of Liberal
Studies (BLS)
The Bachelor of Liberal
Studies program is a cooperative effort of the Board of Regents,
State of Iowa Universities to deliver baccalaureate-level degrees to meet
the needs of Iowans who want to earn a college degree, but whose circumstances
present obstacles to completing a traditional on-campus degree program.
The BLS degree may be earned from Iowa State University, the University
of Iowa, or the University of Northern Iowa.
BLS program offers
five distribution areas of study– Humanities, Communications and
Arts, Natural Science and Math, Social Sciences, and Professional fields.
The BLS degree has no specific major. Instead, students concentrate course
work in three of the five Distribution Areas. Within each of the three
selected areas, students are required to complete 12 semester hours of
course work; at least six semester hours must be upper-level course work.
To enter the program
you must have an Associate of Arts degree, or 60-62 semester hours of transferable
credit, depending upon the requirements of the institution. It is possible to take courses at any of the three universities but at least
30-32 semester hours must be taken from the university that will grant the
degree. Each university has specific requirements and minimum GPAs.
For more information, please contact the institution from which you wish
to receive a degree.
