These programs are particularly effective for students with many credits from other colleges or for those who believe they may use assessment and testing to earn credit. This program is offered online. Students develop these programs with an advisor from the dean\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<h2>Requirements for BPS<\/h2>\n<table class=\"sc_courselist\" width=\"100%\"><tbody><tr class=\"even areaheader
