Finish@UT Program (Previously Known as BAC)
Welcome to the Finish @ UT Program, previously known as the Bachelor's Accelerated Program (BAC). We are so glad you stopped by to learn more about this exciting and innovative way to complete your degree online from UT Arlington. In today's hectic world, more and more people are seeking for alternative means to earn a college degree while meeting the increasing demands of life. If you are one of these people, then Finish @ UT may be just what you need. Even if you began your college career earlier and were required to put it on hold, the Finish @ UT Program now offers you the means to complete your degree without having to be physically present on campus.
UT Arlington is part of the University of Texas Online Consortium (UTOC). The consortium is comprised of several campuses in the UT system but three of these, UT Arlington (UTA), UT El Paso (UTEP), and UT Permian Basin (UTPB) provide courses for the Finish @ UT program. Students select one of these three campuses as their home institution and can take courses from the other two campuses for credit toward a degree. Students must apply and be accepted to a home campus and are then placed into the Finish @ UT Program at that particular institution. The main source for information, registration, course offerings, and important dates for the Finish @ UT Program is the University of Texas Online Consortium (UTOC) website. All Finish @ UT students should visit this site on a regular basis.
Each campus has its own advisor who works closely with students as they progress toward the goal of earning a Bachelor's Degree. At UT Arlington, we offer a Bachelor of Science in University Studies (BSUNIS). Students earn credits toward this degree by taking "accelerated classes" that last seven or eight weeks. Two eight-week sessions are offered each semester and students may take up to 6 credit hours each session.
To determine if the Finish @ UT Program is right for you, answer a few brief questions:
- Have you completed your Core?
- Have you earned a 2.0 cumulative GPA?
- Have you completed 60 hours toward your degree?
If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are a candidate for the Finish @ UT Program.

Please Note: The Bachelor of Science in University Studies offered through the Finish @ UT program is not open to students who have already earned an undergraduate bachelor’s degree. Students seeking a second bachelor’s degree should select another major area for the continuation of their studies.
