Bachelor’s Degree Completion Program

The School of Undergraduate Studies offers a degree in interdisciplinary study through the Bachelor of Arts Completion (BAC) Program.

In the BAC program we believe that what we teach and how we teach work in synergy to create a unique and sophisticated undergraduate learning environment.

How We Teach

Our approach to teaching is based on critical pedagogy, which attempts to move away from teacher-centered curricula. We draw upon subject matters from students’ own lives, languages, and cultures and the communities which we inhabit to enrich the curriculum.

Key aspects of our pedagogy that enhance students’ capacity to learn both individually and collectively are as follows:

• Relationship-building
• Praxis
• Situated knowledge
• Co-creation of knowledge
• Integral learning
