University of Scouting Degree Program

The degree program at the University of Scouting typically follows a structured progression that encourages ongoing learning and leadership development. Any Scout or Scouter who attends the University of Scouting is strongly encouraged to pursue a degree.

Generally, each class period of coursework earns one credit toward your desired degree (unless otherwise noted). Credits are earned based on the number of credits for the course. A one-class-period course earns one credit. A two-class-period course may earn one or two credits, and a three-class-period course may earn two or three credits. Some classes (such as some BSA course curricula) do not earn any credits toward the degree process. Serving as an instructor for a course may be substituted for the equivalent course credits for each unique course.
