Welcome to Boston University's Online Undergraduate Degree Completion Program


There are many accomplished individuals who, for one reason or another, never finished their bachelor’s degree. For some, earning that credential could make a significant difference in their career advancement. For others it is an important milestone of personal growth.

Through Boston University's Undergraduate Degree Completion Program (UDCP), offered in a convenient online format, students who are prepared to complete a high-quality bachelor’s degree can do so alongside other accomplished, motivated, mature students. The program’s online format allows students to accomplish their goals without disrupting personal, family, and professional commitments.

The UDCP awards the Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Interdisciplinary Studies, a major that has proven its value in both classical and contemporary cultures. Once the basis of all learning through a collection of disciplines including both arts and science, liberal studies now emphasizes the interconnection of all knowledge along with personal and professional skills such as critical thinking, rhetorical acumen, active citizenship, and leadership. Of course, the major in liberal studies is especially important for those who value learning for learning’s sake and do not confine their interests and passions to any particular discipline or area. Whether you want a set of skills for application in the workplace or an open inquiry into all knowledge, the major in liberal studies is a time-tested and relevant path to successful learning.

Throughout the UDCP curriculum, students will:

  • Engage in interdisciplinary learning in the classical and contemporary liberal arts by detailed study of particular themes and disciplines,
  • Develop critical thinking skills by analyzing and synthesizing all ways of knowing
  • Acquire rhetorical acumen through writing and discussion
  • Foster active citizenship by applying the liberal arts to the professional and public spheres
  • Pursue learning for learning's sake

The UDCP is an ambitious program designed for individuals who have busy schedules and professional commitments—it provides an education that is worthy of your personal and professional goals. In as little as 30 months, you can earn a degree that will give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence you seek.

To apply for the UDCP, you should have completed 52-64 undergraduate credits from an accredited institution. For more program details and application information, call an Admissions Representative at 866-232-0232 ext. 3396.
