Get Credit for Your Experience
The Regents Bachelor of Arts (RBA) degree program is the University’s only non-traditional degree. The degree, designed especially for adult learners, allows students to enter the program four years after high school graduation.
Welcome to Non-Traditional Degree Programs / Regents Bachelor of Arts
Offered at all four-year public colleges and universities of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, the RBA degree permits students to use options not always available to traditional students. In addition to earning credits through the conventional manner, RBA students can attempt to use work or training experiences to receive credit through a life and work experience portfolio. Please review the following portfolio links for more information about portfolio credit:

Students can also take CLEP or DANTES tests (standardized tests) to accumulate credits. Students in the program can graduate with a minor (like traditional students) or they can graduate with an area of emphasis.
