Program Details
The Regents Bachelor of Arts, offered by the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences,
is a popular option for adult learners who want to return to school. The
RBA undergraduate program is designed for working adults who want to complete
their college degree. The program is accessible, responsive and purpose-built
with the nontraditional learner in mind. It offers an opportunity to gain
credits for work and life experiences, and allows students to tailor their
academic careers to meet their individual needs. WVU offers adult learners,
those who have been out of high school at least four years, the flexibility
of completing this degree online.
What’s unique about the degree is the student’s ability to package together
previously earned credits, online classes, and a portfolio of real world
experience to create a unique degree. A portfolio is written justification
and documentation of the student’s request to earn college equivalency credit.
WVU offers an online class in RBA portfolio development to guide students
through the process.
