College Studies
This flexible and customizable curriculum can be pursued online or on campus, allowing students to tailor their educational experience to fit their needs.
The Bachelor of College Studies helps the University of Maine at Machias maintain its flexibility to create unique programs.
Students pursuing a bachelor’s degree may be interested in UMaine Machias’s Bachelor of College Studies (BCS) Degree. With the advice and guidance of the BCS committee, the student crafts an individual interdisciplinary set of courses that fits his or her background and educational goals. By design, this degree meets the unique needs of traditional, non-traditional, and returning students who are not otherwise served by existing programs and who have previously acquired 45 credit hours in another degree program.
A focus in special education may be integrated into the BCS degree. Students who are seeking teacher certification through this degree must successfully pass the Praxis Core Academic Skills for Educators exams, the Praxis content area test for this area (#5354), as well as the Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching (PLT) test as part of their Maine Department of Education application for initial teacher certification.
