Regents Bachelor of Arts Degree (RBA)
The Marshall University Regents BA (RBA) program is designed
specifically for adults and is especially suited to those who have
earned college credit but whose work or other responsibilities have
prevented them from completing a degree.
Admission is open only to those who graduated from high school at
least four years ago.
This is a flexible degree which has no major or minor. Students
receive assistance in tailoring a program based on individual goals
and needs.
College Equivalent Credits (CECs) may be awarded for certain kinds
of work or learning experiences, certificates, and licenses. Only
those experiences which have resulted in verifiable college level
learning can earn CECs.
All Fs received four or more years before admission to the program
are disregarded in computing the grade point average although not
actually removed from the permanent records.
Program Requirements
The minimum number of credit hours required is 128.
Of these 128 hours, at least 40 must be upper division (300-400
level).
At least 36 hours must be in General Education.
With careful planning and depending on the number and type of credit
hours a student brings to the program, it is possible to earn the
RBA degree online. Please note that not every online course is
offered every semester.

back to top Associate Degree in Arts in Transfer Studies
A degree in Transfer Studies can establish the foundation for a
lifetime of continual learning and serve as the framework for a
productive professional and personal life. This degree is for the
students who:
- are planning to earn a baccalaureate degree at a four-year
institution,
- have educational needs not covered by more specific
technical programs,
- cannot easily access the main campus for instruction, or
- are not ready to declare a major.
The Associate in Arts Degree in Transfer Studies can be an
important first step in building educational attainment and the
level of training that today’s work place demands. The broader
nature of the Associate in Arts Degree in Transfer Studies expands
considerably the potential for student critical thinking and
conceptual analytic skills applicable to a wide range of employment
needs.
A unique feature of the Associate in Arts in Transfer Studies is
that the degree may be obtained completely on-line. Through Marshall
Community and Technical College courses, MUOnline courses, and
Kentucky Community and Technical College System courses offered
through the Kentucky Virtual University, the student is not required
to come to campus. These courses allow a flexible schedule to fit
the students’ busy lifestyle and personal time demands. It also
allows the opportunity to obtain a degree for those students who
because of transportation problems or other obligations might be
unable to do so.
Program Description
The degree requires 45 credit hours of General Education Core
courses, which provide students with a broad background in written
and oral communication, humanities, social science,
sciences/mathematics, and computer competency.
Twenty credit hours of 100 level or higher courses are required to
complete the degree.

Public Library Technology Certification
The Marshall Community & Technical College has developed an
online Public Library Technology (PLT) certificate program to
provide training & skills in public library management and services.
The program is a 33-credit hour certificate that you can earn from

in-service training and para-professional development of current
public library employees. The courses can also be used to provide
preparatory training for individuals interested in pursing a career
in a public library. They can also be used to fulfill elective or
minor course requirement for students in several of the 4-year
degree programs.
All course materials and correspondence with your professor will be
provided online. If you wish to obtain the 33 hour certificate
program, it will take two years if you take one library course and
one general studies course in six consecutive semesters (Fall,
Spring, Summer).

professional librarians, these courses are taught through the
Marshall Community & Technical College. You will earn college

under development).

register for classes. Consult the Admissions homepage to request
