If you are applying for financial aid please be aware that federal regulations require that you must be enrolled in an eligible program of study in order to receive aid. To select an eligible degree or certificate program, please log on to eConnect and visit FA Program Selection. Please use care in selecting your program.

The counseling and advising personnel at the college can help you develop a program of study plan for almost any major. Listed below are some of the four-year majors you can begin in the college:
