I have a question that no one seems to have an answer for. I studied for my BFA for 4 years (122 credits) but never graduated. What is the BEST way to finish either a BA or a BFA? I really don't care what it's in at this point. A BA in liberal studies requires me to take at least 70 more credits, mainly full of ridiculous core requirements. I work full time -- how can I finish this degree?!?! Thank you...

The BA program that would require 70 credits IS an online course. BFA degrees are never offered through distance learning.

Correspondence courses are one possibility.
An other is to talk to an adviser and see if you have any skills or work experience that enables you to challenge courses.
I would go and talk to a student adviser in any case. They are there to help and believe me, whenever they can they DO.

If you have all the required credits for the BFA, you may only have to actually apply for graduation to finish, which will result in an official review of your records to confirm you have completed all the required work. If you know you don't have all the requirements met, talk to an adviser in your department to see what requirements you lack for the BFA. If you still need a lot, look at some of the other degree programs and see how the credits you do have may fit into those. I had a similar situation, I already had I think 125 credits, but my degree was going to require like 50 or more credits still, so I was able to find an Interdisciplinary Social Sciences major which enabled me to get the most credit for the courses I had already taken, and finish in only 2 semesters instead of at least 2 more years, so see if your school has something like that. As for arranging your schedule around work, try to take online or distance courses whenever possible so that you have more flexibility. Good luck, I hope you find something that works for you!

Then why dont you graduate with a BFA since with a BA you have to take 70 additional classes. Or why dont you go to school part time since you have to work full time. It would take longer but as long as you get your degree it shouldnt matter.

Are any of the courses available through correspondence or online? They are cheaper and you don't have to attend classes.
