You are a non-traditional student if you are 25 years of age or older, earned at least 60 credit hours from a regionally accrediting agency, currently employed or have had a minimum of three years of work experience. The adult degree-completion programs are designed to serve the educational needs of the non-traditional, working adult, age 25 or older. These programs enable adult enrollees to complete coursework for a college degree during the evenings and on the weekends.
There are three adult degree-completion programs: Organizational Management, Criminal Justice Administration or Interdisciplinary Studies. Each program covers the subject matter in modular and serial courses. The program is held at the Shreveport Fire Academy in Shreveport, LA.
Any potential student desiring admission into an adult education program must:
- Be 25 years of age or older.
- Have completed at least 60 transferable credit hours from a regionally accredited institution or have an Associate of Arts degree.
- A letter grade of “C” or better must be received in order for the credits to be accepted by Wiley College. Credits for developmental or remedial courses are not acceptable for transfer.
- Students entering the adult degree-completion program with an Associate of Arts degree from an accredited program are exempt from taking additional General Education (GE) courses.
- Students who have the required 60 hours of transferable college credit, but lack required GE courses, will need to enroll and pass needed GE courses in order to fulfill the requirements of the program and be eligible for graduation upon completion of the program.
- Have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale from previously attended colleges or universities. All official transcripts must be submitted to Wiley College for evaluation of transfer credit(s) before.
