At
St.
Ambrose
University
, we recognize that educational systems differ throughout the world. We
are pleased to offer a new program of special interest to students holding
three-year international bachelor degrees who wish to earn a
United States
bachelor degree. These students might be permanent residents of the
United States
and/or international students wishing to come to the
U.S.
to study.
Completion Program
The purpose of the
completion program is to assist qualifying students with three-year
bachelor degrees (i.e. Bachelor of Commerce) from
India
or other British system equivalent programs to earn a
U.S.
bachelor degree.
St.
Ambrose
University
will grant 90 transfer credits for work done while successfully completing
a three-year international bachelor degree if either
WES
or ECE credential evaluators would consider the degree to be equivalent to
90 semester credit hours. In these cases, three-year international
bachelor degree holders may then be able to complete a St. Ambrose
University Bachelor of Elected Studies degree within one and a half to two
years of full time academic work (approximately 30-45 credit hours). The
number of actual credits required to complete the program will be
determined on an individual student basis. A minimum of 30 credit hours
must be completed through
