Bachelor of Arts - Liberal Studies (emphasis Organizational Administration) - UW Oshkosh
With an emphasis in Organizational Administration, UW Oshkosh’s BLS program is designed specifically to serve adult nontraditional students and is delivered on both campuses and online. UW-Manitowoc and UW-Sheboygan will each deliver courses onsite and make them available to the students on the other campus through compressed video. This collaboration offers UW-Manitowoc and UW-Sheboygan students the opportunity to earn credits toward both their associate and bachelor’s degree simultaneously.
