Undergraduate Degrees Offered

The University of Pikeville offers the following undergraduate degrees:

  • Associate of Science (A.S.)
  • Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
  • Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
  • Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.)
  • Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.)

The B.A. or B.S. degree is awarded depending upon the option chosen of either foreign language or laboratory science. The B.A. degree-seeking student completes two courses in a foreign language (6 hours). The B.S. degree-seeking student completes an additional laboratory science (4 hours). If a student completes both the requirements for the B.A. and the B.S. degree, then the student is awarded their choice of the B.A. or the B.S. degree, not both. Students seeking a B.B.A. or B.S.W. degree may complete either the B.A. or the B.S. option.

Students pursuing double majors must indicate so to the University Registrar and are eligible to qualify for additional bachelor’s degrees in different majors providing the student meets and completes all university, college, and departmental requirements for a degree. Courses taken towards fulfilling one degree may also count towards fulling parallel requirements in another degree, but the student must complete at least 30 additional hours in a different major for each degree.

A student will be assigned an academic advisor in each major.

The University of Pikeville diploma awarded states the degree name and year completed.

The academic transcript indicates the degree name, completion date, major(s), minor(s), certificate(s), emphasis/track/option/specialization (if applicable), and honors.
