Division of Adult Studies

Providing convenience for adult learners

Ashland University offers adult learners programs designed to meet the needs of non-traditional students. Currently, the Division of Adult Studies offers two degree programs:

• An Associate of Arts degree in General Studies
• A Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with majors in Business Management or Marketing

These two degree programs are offered on the Ashland University main campus. The bachelor degree program can be the continuation of a two-year degree or a way to complete a degree that has not been finished. The Associate of Arts Degree can be customized through the electives requirement to transition the degree to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

• The student must be admitted into the Division of Adult Studies program in an approved program or major (noted above).
