Undergraduate Studies
Complete your bachelor’s degree online in three semesters.
Nontraditional students who want to experience a learning community that supports academic excellence, social justice, and many modes of learning can find it at CIIS. We provide two options for transfer students to finish their degrees: a Bachelor of Arts completion program for students seeking a versatile, interdisciplinary education and a Bachelor of Science completion program for students specifically seeking a strong foundation in psychology.
Both of the unique degree completion programs offered at CIIS are student-centered and value the personal development of each individual. Our innovative cohort model allows students to remain with the same group throughout the program, building relationships and co-creating knowledge. The online format means adult learners can remain flexible while engaging in a rigorous, transformative program.
