The Division of Online and Professional Studies was established for the specific purpose of serving the needs of an increasing number of adults and non-traditional students seeking higher education. Online and Professional Studies (OPS) develops degree programs in fully-online and hybrid formats at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. All programs incorporate a Christian perspective, and a year-round semester system speeds students toward graduation. Approximately twenty undergraduate majors are available.
The Online and Professional Studies faculty recommends students complete at least 49 units of study (preferably the types of courses required for general education) before entering upper division major courses. Students are required to complete at least 30 units, including 6 units of English composition (ENG 113 , ENG 123 ), before starting the major.
Essentials for Online and Professional Studies
The Essentials for Online and Professional Studies (GST 101 ) course is designed to assist new students with the transition to university coursework and online studies. Enrollment is required of all new Online and Professional Studies students. Students enroll for GST 101 - Essentials for Online and Professional Studies during the first semester at CBU and will be continuously enrolled until a passing grade is earned. The course provides a well-rounded introduction to California Baptist University resources, the Division of Online and Professional Studies and the online learning experience.
Online and Professional Studies Requirements
Program requirements include coursework to complete the designated major and the Christian Studies general education requirement. To complete a degree students must complete all major, general education and overall degree requirements.
