A
quality academic life for all students is the focus of Slippery
Rock University. Students will find that their priority actively
centers on the intellectual development necessary to successfully
achieve their Bachelor’s degree.
How Long Will It Take?
At SRU, the undergraduate program of study requires a minimum of
120 semester hours of course credit hours to receive a bachelor
degree. Some students will actually complete more than 120 credit
hours. This occurs for one of three reasons:
- Some students will be required to take additional courses necessary
to develop basic academic competencies. These courses are not
counted as credit toward graduation. (See Liberal Studies section
for more detail.)
- Some students may choose to take more than 120 credit hours.
For Example: when students choose to complete more than one major.
- Some majors require more than 120 credit hours for a bachelor’s
degree.
Post-baccalaureate students must complete at least 36 credit hours
at SRU to earn a baccalaureate degree.
What Degree Will I Receive?
The bachelor degree awarded depends on a number of factors particularly
the major selected. The undergraduate degrees and majors offered
at SRU include:
