Metropolitan School of Professional Studies

CUA's Metropolitan School of Professional Studies (MSPS) offers three different programs for those interested in completing their undergraduate (bachelor's) degree:

• the Bachelor of Arts in InterdisciplinaryStudies (B.A.I.S.)
• the Bachelor of Arts in Management (B.A.Mgt.), and
• the Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology (B.A.I.T.).

All three programs are designed specifically to address the personal, professional, and career needs of working adults. To this end, MSPS programs offer:

• evening, accelerated, and online courses,
• practical, applications-oriented course work,
• curricula that allow the student to address both personal and career interests,
• opportunities to gain undergraduate credit for college-level learning acquired through work and life experience,
• opportunities for accelerated transitions to our Master's degree programs, and
• convenient access to Metrorail's Brookland-CUA Station (Red Line).

At the heart of our degree programs is a robust core curriculum designed to provide a strong "liberal arts" education. The liberal education core affords students a particularly broad and engaging educational experience. Another unique feature of MSPS degree programs is the availability of Themed Interdisciplinary Course Clusters, which allow students to select courses that not only meet program requirements but also explore a theme of particular interest to the student. The Themed Clusters are just one way that MSPS makes its programs particularly interesting and relevant to working adults.

In addition to unique curricular features, MSPS programs offer another benefit that will make completing your degree a reality: excellent customer/student service. Prospective students who would like to explore some of MSPS's many student service offerings are welcome to visit our online Student Services Web portal.

We encourage you to research our programs thoroughly and to compare them with other programs that you might be considering elsewhere. We think you will be pleased with what you find here.
