Fordham School of Professional and Continuing Studies (formerly Fordham College of Liberal Studies)[2] is a degree-granting undergraduate and graduate college within Fordham University in the United States. The college is specifically intended to serve non-traditional students, offering full-time and part-time study options, flexible schedules, and three different campus locations, in order to facilitate the needs of this population.

Courses

[edit]

The college offers Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs. Fordham College of Liberal Studies follows the same core curriculum as the rest of the university's undergraduate colleges,[3] and utilizes much of the same faculty. An honors program is available to very high academic achievers by invitation; it deviates from the core curriculum and relies heavily on faculty-supervised project work and independent research – an opportunity unavailable to non-traditional students at almost all other institutions.[4] Completion of the honors program entitles a graduate to have the phrase in cursu honorum noted on the transcript and diploma.[citation needed]

Credit assignment

[edit]

College credit may be available to any student for prior instruction outside formal academic circumstances, such as military training or job-based technical training, and for life-experience learning. It is not possible to cobble together transfer credits, prior instruction credit, and life-experience credit alone to obtain a degree, however. A minimum number of college credits must be earned at Fordham College of Liberal Studies in order to receive a bachelor's degree.[5]
