BSU's College of Continuing Studies offers a combination of approximately 600 undergraduate online and night classes each fall and spring semester. Courses are offered online and in-person at our main campus in Bridgewater and at night at our satellite campus in Attleboro at BSU Attleboro. We offer a total of approximately 450 summer courses during the day, night and online.
Our courses are open to BSU students as well as students who are not enrolled in a degree program at BSU, defined as Non-Degree students. BSU students may register for Continuing Studies courses when the registration period opens. See registration dates below.
