Upside-Down Program: The usual route to a BA degree calls for general education in the first two years and specialization in the last two years. The Upside-Down Program, BA gives selected students an option to reverse this process. Graduates of Washington state 2- and 4-year colleges who hold the ATA, the AAS or other approved two-year technical degrees may apply to transfer their specializations to Fairhaven as the completed major. Stages 1 and 3 of the curriculum and a minimum of 90 credits are then required for graduation. Students are expected to complete as much as possible of their elective credit at the upper-division level (courses numbered 300 or above). Each application for this program is reviewed on an individual basis. Students are urged to contact Fairhaven College early in the admissions process.
