BS Completion in Quality Systems Management*

The Bachelor of Science Degree Completion Program in Quality Systems Management is designed for individuals who seek a team-driven, results-oriented management program and believe that a management focus in quality and organizational performance is a competitive career advantage. Students are typically experienced, working adults.

The curriculum consists of a 12 month, 10-course, 30-credit, 2-semester program designed as an “integrated storyboard” developed after extensive consultation with diverse focus groups of prospective employers, organizational leaders and quality practitioners.

Up to 15-30 credits are awarded for experiential learning from work experience and accomplishments. A distinguishing feature of the program is the team-based, work-related business project.

The program is offered in a cohort format.
