Specialized BLS

A specialized BLS degree (sBLS) requires students to meet all the requirements of their chosen specialization. Specializations the student may select from are as follows:

  • Humanities
  • Social Science
  • Community Wellness
  • Instructional Support
  • Public Information
  • Community Safety

Students must earn at least 42 credit hours in the field of specialization, and at least 15 of those credits must be earned at the University. Courses used to satisfy the General Curriculum Distribution requirements may not be used to also satisfy requirements of any specialization.

Elective credit hours may be from any discipline the student chooses unless otherwise specified. All course pre- and corequisites must be met unless otherwise waived.

Of the total credits for the sBLS, at least 24 must be earned from 300-level courses or higher. Among specialization courses, at least 16 must be earned from 300-level courses or higher.
