Enterprise Program for Women-

Bachelor of Arts in Professional Studies

The Enterprise Program for Women has been developed to provide an academic environment for women age 24 and above to complete their bachelor's degree.  Students will choose from a variety of course options.  Courses will be held online, at our residential Shadyside Campus, and at our beautiful Eden Hall Campus in Gibsonia, PA.


The program is designed so that students entering with no college at all taking two classes at a time can complete the program in four years. A maximum of 75 credits may be transferred in to the Enterprise program from prior coursework and learning. Students in the program will benefit from orientation, advising, career counseling, and academic support specifically tailored to meet the needs of Enterprise students.

Students can choose to major in Psychology, Business, or Communication.
