William Paterson University will offer nine new online bachelor’s degree programs this fall, per an announcement Aug. 5.

The newly added programs include a Bachelor of Arts in communication studies, Bachelor of Arts in criminology and criminal justice, Bachelor of Arts in criminology and criminal justice-accelerated professional track for law enforcement and corrections professionals, Bachelor of Science in health studies, Bachelor of Arts in leadership and professional studies, Bachelor of Arts in liberal studies, Bachelor of Science in management, Bachelor of Science in marketing, and Bachelor of Arts in psychology.

The university said its online undergraduate degree programs are geared toward working adults.

“The great success of our current degree portfolio through WP Online, together with the strong regional labor market demand for graduates of these new online programs, means that this expansion will result in many more people experiencing the life-changing impact of a William Paterson University bachelor’s degree,” said President Richard Helldobler in a prepared statement.

The university is collaborating with Academic Partnerships, an online facilitator focused primarily on adult learners that works with more than 50 universities across the country, to transition courses online and provide student support services.

The first cycle of classes for these programs begins Nov. 1 with a tuition of $350 per credit.
