Graduate Programs

The table that follows shows the undergraduate programs available at NKU. Here’s how to read the table:

The bachelor column shows the majors and the degree (or degrees) associated with each major: B.S. = Bachelor of Science; B.A. = Bachelor of Arts; B.F.A. = Bachelor of Fine Arts; B.M. = Bachelor of Music; B.S.N. = Bachelor of Science in Nursing; B.S.B.A. = Bachelor of Science in Business Administration; and B.S.W. = Bachelor of Social Work.
The certificate column lists “PB” for a postbaccalaureate certificate and “U” for an undergraduate certificate.
The other columns indicate by “AD” if one can earn an associate degree; “M” if one can earn a minor; and “TC” if one can obtain teacher certification in the listed discipline. NOTE: If an item contains “TC”, is not linked, and no information is found within the catalog, please contact an advisor within the corresponding department.
In addition, three superscript codes are used:

* means students with an interest in majoring in one of these fields will be placed in a pre-major status.
P means the program is available through PACE, a special program for adult learners; these programs are also available through a traditional delivery model.
O means the program is available online; most of these programs are also available through a traditional delivery model.
