Thomson University Degree Information

There are four types of degrees available. Each degree has its own course and year requirements in order to earn that degree, so please look over each degree and decide which is the best for you. Every degree can be earned by attending the University full or part time. The only difference is the amount of time required to earn that degree. The number of courses stays the same.
