If you find yourself needing a special combination of skills to innovate and add value to your organization or to move into an emerging field, our MPS degree may be the right choice because of its flexibility.
The Professional Studies program at Bellevue University is an interdisciplinary master's degree individualized to meet emerging industry needs.

If you have earned credit from another graduate program or institution, the Bellevue University 30 credit-hour MPS degree program allows you to transfer in up to 12 credits towards your master’s degree. You may complete the rest of the Professional Studies Master’s degree requirements either online or on-campus -- depending on your chosen courses.
You will start by creating an individualized degree plan with the help of an admissions counselor and faculty. A notable feature of the MPS is the flexibility to combine courses from more than one degree program with your prior learning, and/or certificates of completion to meet your individual goals.
