- a year-long senior capstone seminar allowing you to focus on an individualized research project
- credit for prior learning if you can show that you have knowledge equivalent to a university-level course required for the BAAS degree
- flexible course delivery, including online classes, accelerated short-course formats, and evening or weekend courses
