The School of Continuing and Professional Studies Difference

What sets UVA's School of Continuing and Professional Studies apart from other programs?

  • Our programs are designed for busy adults who seek the flexibility of online degrees and part-time course loads.
  • Classes are small in size to ensure students receive the support they need.
  • Classes are held online, typically with live Zoom sessions in the evening, to best accommodate work schedules and provide meaningful engagement.
  • Our Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies degree and Bachelor of Professional Studies in Health Sciences Management degree programs emphasize durable and relevant skills that can be leveraged for career advancement and graduate studies.
  • Our faculty and staff are deeply committed to each student's success – from application through graduation and beyond.
  • Scholarships are available!

If you are looking for a more traditional, on-campus experience, you will want to explore transfer options through the UVA Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

This is a welcoming community, and I felt that from the start. Even online, with the professors and my peers. Everybody roots for you. I wanted interaction, and the BIS program does that. The conversations with my peers have been so special.
