You Can Turn Your Associate Degree Into a Bachelor's Degree!

The Partnership for Learning and Networking (PLAN) is a collaborative set of online 2+2 baccalaureate degree completion programs developed by Washburn University to expand access to higher education throughout Kansas. The PLAN programs allow you to complete an associate degree at one of the partner community colleges/schools around the state and then a bachelor's degree from Washburn University in another two years without traveling to Topeka for classes. The 2+2 online PLAN degree programs include the Bachelor of Integrated Studies, the Bachelor of Applied Science in Human Services, the Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Administration, the Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice, and the Bachelor of Health Sciences degrees.

These degree programs require completion of an associate degree from one of the partner community colleges* and a minimum of 60 semester credits from Washburn University** offered via the Internet, using WebCT as the virtual classroom.

*Non-participating community college students are reviewed individually to determine eligibility.

**60 hours must be completed with a 4-year institution; at least 30 hours are required to be completed with Washburn University. 45 of the 60 hours must be upper division (junior/senior) level coursework.
