Real-World Learning with an Individualized Degree
Perhaps you already have some credits and are ready to finish your degree. Maybe you have military and/or work experience, but just need the bachelor's to move up in your field. Or, you may have personal reasons for wanting to walk across that stage. Whatever your reason and wherever you are in life, we'll help you design a course load tailored to your interests and goals.
Flexible Program Formats
You may complete this entire program online, from anywhere, on your own schedule. Depending on the needs and interests of our students, we also offer in-person courses to bring your learning to life through face-to-face discussion. Our hybrid on-line and in-person courses give you the best of both worlds. Your advisor will help you determine which path is best for you.
Tuition, Financial Aid, and Support
At EXT, you get the individualized attention of a private university at a more affordable cost. There are multiple options for financial aid, scholarships, and accelerated paths to get you to the degree you need. Some programs run by Roger Williams are awarded by simply applying for admission, while others are awarded to students through a more formal aid application process.
To ensure full consideration for all aid programs, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Pathways to Your Individualized Degree
At EXT, we support you on your individual path. Whether you are just starting out or picking up where you left off, we work with you to accomplish your goals. As you work with our faculty, each respected in their field, you'll build lasting connections that open doors to your success.
You'll receive one-on-one guidance from your advisor each step of the way. With our prior learning assessment, you can apply transfer credit, trainings and assessments, military experience, work experience, and self-taught skills toward your degree. You may earn up to 90 credits out of 120, before you even begin your RWU coursework.
