The Bachelor of University Studies (B.U.S.) is UMaine's degree completion program for busy adults. Many adults who have some higher-education experience but no bachelor's degree find that life circumstances or interests make a traditional major and/or on-campus study difficult. Often family, job, and other responsibilities do not allow for full-time study. For these students, the B.U.S. program provides an excellent opportunity to develop a program of study that encompasses their interests and makes maximum use of existing transfer credits. The program also available part-time and fully online to accommodate the needs of working adults. The B.U.S. curriculum can be totally self-designed, or students may select one of three existing tracks (24 credit hours): Labor Studies Track, Leadership Studies Track and Maine Studies Track. With its multiple track options, the B.U.S. program provides an opportunity both for students who would benefit from an individually-designed interdisciplinary program of study, as well as for students who would prefer a more prescribed curriculum.
