Students interested in pursing a masters degree following completion of the  Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies degree or the Bachelor of Arts in Human Services degree should consider the following options:

BLS/MCR or BHS/MCR Accelerated Degree Option


High-achieving undergraduates can apply for the Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies (BLS)/Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution (MCR) or the Bachelor of Arts in Human Services (BHS)/Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution accelerated degree option. Students admitted to this option can enroll in MCR courses before completing the baccalaureate degree and have up to 9 MCR credit hours apply to both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. Additional information is available through the SPCS advising office.

BHS/MSW Accelerated Degree Option


High-achieving undergraduates can apply for the Bachelor of Arts in Human Services(BHS)/Master of Social Work (MSW) accelerated degree. Students admitted to this option can enroll in MSW courses before completing the BHS and have up to 30 MSW credit hours apply to both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. Additional information is available through the SPCS advising office.

Graduate Course Option


Up to six hours of graduate course work may be applied to the BLS or BHS degree in the elective category (if electives are needed). These courses will also apply to the respective graduate degree, thereby reducing by six semester hours the total number of credit hours required to complete both degrees. Students must have senior standing in the School of Professional and Continuing Studies and obtain the consent of the program director and the appropriate graduate school dean to take classes in another school. Additional information is available through the SPCS advising office.
