Bachelor of Martial Art

Connecticut -- The University of Bridgeport awarded the nation's first two bachelor's degrees in martial arts Saturday.

Two students received their degrees yesterday, part of a 1,200 member graduating class at the school.

Bridgeport started the nation's only martial arts major in 2005 in the school's International College.

The program offers courses on the philosophical, historical and psychosocial aspects of the martial arts as well as practical classes on tae kwon do, tai chi and judo.
