Traditional Undergraduate Students Taking Adult and Graduate Studies Classes

Adult and Graduate Studies (AGS) classes are offered in an accelerated format developed for working adults who might choose to take one or two classes during a 7-week period. These accelerated classes combine well with other 7-week courses and second session courses, pacing the adult student differently than through a typical semester. For this reason traditional undergraduate students taking 15-week semester classes should not be scheduled for 7-week AGS classes. Exceptions would be traditional undergraduate students who cannot complete their program in time for their planned graduation without taking a course offered in Bethel’s AGS programs. Students must seek approval through their advisor, and the dean of their division.
