Georgetown University's School of Continuing Studies has partnered with Coursera to offer a new pathway to degree completion for adult learners. The online Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies program pairs core courses in culture, humanities, natural sciences, philosophy, social sciences, and writing with five concentration options: Business and Entrepreneurship, Humanities, Professional Media and Communication, International Relations, and Individualized Study. The 120-credit degree program offers asynchronous courses taught by Georgetown faculty, including on-demand video lectures, opportunities to engage in group discussions with professors and peers, individual academic advising sessions, and more. Students can apply up to 64 college transfer credits (including military training) toward the degree; transfer credits are evaluated for accreditation, timeliness of content, overall academic relevance, and other factors. Tuition for the program is $400 per credit hour, making it possible complete the degree for as little as $22,400.
