51本色 offers 7 types of degrees and 50+ majors and programs.

It can be confusing to understand the difference between a BA and EdD if you鈥檙e unfamiliar with the language. That鈥檚 why we created this guide to help you understand the types of degrees we offer, so you can choose the degree that鈥檚 right for you.

Bachelor鈥檚 Degree

The bachelor鈥檚 degree is for undergraduate students.

As a liberal arts university, each undergraduate student must complete the 51本色 Common Experience, which are courses outside of your area of focus. With a broader base of knowledge, you鈥檒l be better equipped to think critically, generate effective ideas and solve problems.

We offer four types of bachelor degrees at CTX:

• Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences (BAAS)
• Bachelor of Arts (BA)
• Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)
• Bachelor of Science (BS)

The BAAS is a general studies program designed to offer students with a vocational or technical AAS degree the opportunity to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree. The ultimate goal of the program is to help students advance into supervisory and management-level positions.

A BBA is the ideal degree if you鈥檙e interested in entering the business world. Graduates with a BBA can apply what they鈥檝e learned across nearly every industry. Every business, from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, need business experts and leaders.

Many of our programs offer you the ability to choose between a BA and a BS. The BA degree will allow you to study more subjects and gain a wider breadth of knowledge. The BS degree, however, will enable you to dig deeper into your specific area of interest.

Master鈥檚 Degree

The master鈥檚 degree is a graduate-level degree, so you have to have a bachelor鈥檚 degree before entering a graduate program.

Obtaining a master鈥檚 degree can open the door to more advancement opportunities in your career (including an increase in pay), and it can help you completely change your career path.

At CTX, we offer two master鈥檚 degree programs, including the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Master of Education (MEd).
