• The Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) allows students to complete a bachelor's degree without attending classes full-time on campus.

Transferring credit from other colleges
Courses completed at colleges and universities accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, or similar regional associations, are acceptable for transfer to The University of Iowa.
