In early 2001, the University of Virginia introduced the bachelor of interdisciplinary studies (BIS) degree, offered through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies. The curriculum for the degree has four components: liberal studies seminars, a concentration, elective courses, and a capstone project. All elective courses for the BIS are upper-level courses currently taught in the regular undergraduate programs of the College of Arts & Sciences, the McIntire School of Commerce, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. For more information, visit the School of Continuing and Professional Studies BIS page.
Since 1983 the School of Engineering and Applied Science has offered a part-time engineering master’s degree program called the Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program (CGEP). This program makes available regular master's degree courses via computer link to students in Virginia and beyond. The classes are synchronous (real time) and students connect from their personal computers. Classes are scheduled in late afternoon and early evening hours. All courses required for the degree are available through this program.
In 2009, the School of Engineering and Applied Science initiated the part-time, undergraduate Engineers PRODUCED in Virginia program, in partnership with the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). Through this program, the Engineering School is reaching out to bring undergraduate engineering education to communities throughout Virginia. Through the PRODUCED program, a student can earn an Associate of Science in Engineering degree (or equivalent) from their local community college and then a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Science from the University of Virginia, all without leaving their home community.
