Bachelor's Degree Completion Programs

These programs allow BCC students to complete a bachelor’s degree by applying their completed associate’s degree toward the first two years of a B.A. or a B.S. degree. Some of the programs allow BCC credits beyond an associate’s degree to count toward the bachelor’s degree.

While each program is unique, they all share a common goal: to provide an affordable and convenient way for students to complete a bachelor’s degree in two years or less ,often without having to travel further than their own home or the BCC campus in Fall River.
