How can online or independent leaning courses count toward my degree requirements?
The sociology department offers several courses, including some required courses online through BSU’s Independent Learning Program (ILP). Taking a course online will meet the requirement the same as if you were to take that course in a classroom. The sociology department does not limit the number of courses a student can take online to count toward a major or minor, but this may not be the case with other departments. Also, there is no restriction on the number of general studies classes that you can take through the program. For additional information and to find out what courses are currently offered, contact the ILP office at 1-800-872-0369. Please note that the number of classes you take off campus in a given semester may affect your financial aid. Please contact the financial aid office for additional information.
