Athabasca University
#1
Is it still possible to complete a degree through Athabasca entirely without ever having to take a course at the school? I know it's something that we don't discuss often in here, but I probably have enough UL credits to transfer in from a range of schools I never finished.

If memory serves me right, they offer a bachelors degree program that is 90 credits total, with 60 LL and 30 UL.

Doesn't look like you can, since you have bachelor's degrees already: "Enrolment requirements: Students who hold a previous degree must enrol in a Bachelor of Arts (4-year) program and follow the second undergraduate degree requirements. This degree requires a minimum of 60 credits" https://www.athabascau.ca/calendar/under...neral.html

All the 120-credit degrees I skimmed require 30 credits to be taken at Athabasca U.

Athabasca’s 90-credit Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree doesn’t have a residency requirement, but as wow notes the BGS is only available to students with no prior bachelor’s.
