DEGREES
All candidates for the baccalaureate degree are required to meet all degree requirements as
well as the requirements for their major. Each major leads to either a Bachelor of Arts degree
(BA), a Bachelor of Science degree (BS), a Bachelor of Music degree (BM), or a Bachelor of
Science in Nursing degree (BSN).
The BA degree is a liberal arts degree. It provides general knowledge in many fields and emphasizes
intellectual skills such as thinking, problem solving, reasoning, and judgment. The primary
goal of a liberal arts degree is not to prepare the student for a specific job but to develop
an educated citizen, the traditional objective of a college education. A major for the Bachelor of
Arts degree shall consist of no fewer than 30 credit hours.
The BS degree is more specialized than the BA, emphasizing Mathematics, science, or computer
skills. Majors in Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science lead to the Bachelor of
Science degree. A major for the Bachelor of Science shall consist of no fewer than 32 credit
hours. The Biology department also offers a major leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree.
The BM degree and BSN degree are more specialized. A major in Music Therapy leads to
a bachelor of music degree, while a major in Nursing leads to a Bachelor of Science in
Nursing degree.
3-Year Degree Completion
Queens University of Charlotte offers the highly motivated and self-disciplined student the
opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of the traditional four.
Interested students should contact the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences for
