The three most common degrees that students can earn are Associate in Science, Bachelor of Science, and Master of Science. Many students already know that they want or need a four-year degree and apply directly to one of our Bachelor programs. Students who do not need or are not ready to commit themselves to a four-year degree find our Associate programs meet their objectives. Students who possess a Bachelor degree from Crystal Fjord University or from another college may apply to one of our many Master’s programs. All degrees accept transfer students upon a satisfactory transcript evaluation. Whether you choose an Associate’s, Bachelor’s or Master’s degree; Crystal Fjord University can be your new educational home.
Students are expected to declare a major at the end of their freshman year. Lower level courses are often prerequisites for higher level courses so it may be difficult to graduate on time if the major’s foundational courses are not taken in the sophomore year. Sometimes, Bachelor degree students seeking to declare a major or to change majors during/after their sophomore year can graduate on time by working closely with their advisors and departmental leaders.
