ZU-c.. ;). Cl,, ~f p.8-r USO to offer B.A. program 'after hours' Next semester at University of San Diego ciassrooms won't darken until 10 p.m. The university is opening a mght bachelor's degree program next month that will allow students to earn the bachelor of arts or science ~egree without ever attending a day- time course. In its first semester of operation, the night program will consist of about 80 courses with the emphasis on business administration and edu- cation - areas wher e degree seekers are most like I y to be emp- loyed by day and looking for career- boosting credentials. Some master's degree programs in business and other academic areas, and all education programs, will be available after the traditional hours at USO. But the basic four-year college degree in the estal:llished academic disciplines will also be available to night students. When the potential for a night program was first discussed , Dr. Raymond Brandes, director of grad- uate and special programs at USO , thought the program would draw most of its students from community college two-year degree holders who wanted to finish up work for the B.A. But in checking with the Universi- ty of San Francisco, where night programs are 50 years old, Brandes said it now appears just as many people without college degrees will register as those with two-year de- grees. The same faculty will be teaching the same courses which have been available during the day - and USD's tuition for the night courses will also be the same as the day's. For undergraduates, that will mean a charge of $195 per course Brandes says financial aid applica- tions will be available along with registration materials. Hours for registration are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. starting Jan. 6 in room 108 of Founders Hall on the campus. Brandes expects course offerings to change in response to demands of those enrolling.
