Administrative History
Degrees by Independent Study (1979-1999) was a distance education program at Brigham Young University.
The Degrees by Independent Study program was established in 1999 within the Division of Continuing Education. This program offered classes to students who have attended BYU previously (over two years ago) or have never attended BYU but are at least 23 years of age and have not completed their bachelor's degree; are in good standing with any institutions of higher education they previously attended (this implies that applicants will have no less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average); will abide by the BYU Honor Code and receive an annual ecclesiastical endorsement; successfully complete a 1-credit hour prerequisite Independent Study course (StDev 100), have passed the TOEFL exam (if not a native speaker of English) with a score of 500+; have been approved by the BGS admissions committee. The division was discontinued in 1998, and replaced with the Bachelor's of General Studies Program, or BGS.
