JSC Degrees Available through EDP

These five Johnson State College degrees are available statewide through the External Degree Program:

B.A. in Business Management

Other Programs

Other Johnson State College programs may be available through EDP but often involve taking some courses on campus. Approval is required before commencing these programs. Students interested in secondary teaching licensure should contact the EDP office for more information.

Requirements

In addition to meeting requirements for their major, students must complete the EDP General Education program. Many, if not most, of these requirements in the liberal arts and sciences can be satisfied through previously completed courses. However, students must earn at least 30 credits while in the EDP to be eligible for a JSC bachelor's degree.
