>> BACHELOR'S - UNIVERSITY DEGREEObjective:The B.A. and the B.S. degrees provide students comprehensive knowledge in a specific field of study, or major. Students acquire a full understanding of all subjects that, directly or indirectly, relate to their major. Academic requirements and duration:Students must complete 1,300 to 1,500 hours of study; i.e. 130 to 150 credits. Duration of the program ranges from 6 months to 2 years at an average of 10 weekly hours of study. Usually, duration of the program varies in relation to the amount of credits that the candidate is awarded for previous knowledge and experience (revalidation) and the student's dedication to studying. The course curricula are entirely based on textbook material and adjusted to the student's personal goals. The final exam consists of a 15 to 25 page report based on each of the textbooks covered in the program. Restricted Admission:Admission is restricted to adults of 23 years of age or over, who have completed an equivalent of at least 60 academic credits. Credits granted can proceed from a number of sources, namely, experience and knowledge gained independently (revalidation), seminars attended, and credits transferred from other universities. Admission requirements vary from major to major. Completion of program by full validation:Students interested in obtaining the B.A. or the B.S. degrees by a full validation of their experience and knowledge must fill out the application form entirely (pages 1 to 3), attach copies of all the transcripts and certificates of seminars and courses attended, and submit to BIU for consideration. As part of the validation process, the candidate must submit a 50 page project on the student's major. |
