As of fall 2008, the decision has been made to discontinue the Bachelor of Arts in Leadership and Professional Studies.

This decision was not driven by concern for the quality of the degree, but rather by the need to shift resources to areas that have a greater potential for growth on the Spokane campus, particularly in the health and biomedical sciences.

Current students will be allowed to complete the degree if they remain continuously registered for the next four semesters through Spring 2010, but no new students are being admitted.
