Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Bachelor of Arts in English and Creative Writing Adult Degree Completion (ADC) program allows for maximum flexibility in earning elective units, and the possibility of taking courses in related humanities disciplines such as History and Political Science, Philosophy, or Religion. This flexibility bears in mind the needs, experiences, and skills of mature learners, and we encourage students to integrate their prior learning and experience in developing their final Capstone projects. Students may complete their coursework via a mix of late afternoon, evening, and online courses.
