    BLS and BOL Prospective Students

    Palmetto College campuses offer flexible bachelor’s degree completion opportunities for students who are ready to finish their education through the University of South Carolina. The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (BLS) and the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership (BOL) are designed for students who have already earned college credit and want a clear, supportive path to completing their bachelor’s degree while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Through Palmetto College, students receive campus‑based support while completing upper‑level coursework that leads to a USC degree.

    Take control of your future with a degree in Organizational Leadership or Liberal Studies

    The Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies (BLS) and Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership (BOL) provide flexible, interdisciplinary pathways tailored to a wide range of academic backgrounds and career goals. The Liberal Studies program allows students to design a personalized course of study that emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and problem‑solving skills, while the Organizational Leadership program focuses on leadership, organizational effectiveness, and applied professional skills relevant to today’s workforce.
     
    Students enroll through a Palmetto College campus and, once eligibility requirements are met, complete their upper‑level coursework primarily online. Both programs are designed to support adult learners and returning students while maintaining the academic quality and recognition of a University of South Carolina bachelor’s degree.
     

    Admission to USC Columbia’s BA in Liberal Studies or Organizational Leadership requires a minimum of 45 college semester hours, among other standards. If you have not earned 45 hours, you will begin your enrollment through a Palmetto College campus and continue until you meet the minimum requirements. You may also have the option to earn your Associate’s degree along the way!
