Southern Wesleyan to Begin Online Degrees in February

Online versions of the associate of arts in general studies and bachelor of science in business administration degrees will become available in early 2013.

Southern Wesleyan University has been offering flexible programs to working adults for 25 years, but new fully-online programs are about to take flexibility to the next level.

The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools recently approved online versions of the associate of arts in general studies and bachelor of science in business administration degrees. According to Dr. Keith Iddings, university provost, both online degree programs will become available in early 2013.

Online versions of additional graduate and undergraduate programs will be offered in the not-too-distant future, according to Iddings.
