Entry requirements

Programme-level admission/progression (WVU catalogue): Admissions Admission and retention requirements are the same as for other degree programs except that students are not eligible for admission until at least three years after graduation from high school. Students who have earned any Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), or Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree are eligible for admission. Students may not be enrolled simultaneously in the RBA program and another college degree program and they are ineligible if they have already earned a bachelor's degree. Pending approval of the Registrar, all passing grades from other accredited colleges, plus passing grades on CLEP, DSST and other college level tests, will be accepted. Credit may be awarded for certificates and licenses based upon standards as set by the Regents Bachelor of Arts program.
