Bachelor of Applied Science

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree is designed to provide advanced study in a particular career / occupational area. Students will receive a well-rounded learning experience including both general education credits and advanced coursework in the major field of study. Students must possess a relevant 60-credit associate degree from a Regionally Accredited institution to be admitted to the BAS degree. While the BAS degree is not intended to transfer for graduate studies at another college or university, individual courses may be considered for transfer by the receiving institution.

Associate of Applied Science

The common goal of all Associate of Applied Science degrees and occupational certificate programs is to prepare students for employment in specific occupations. The programs for the degrees consist of major courses as well as related general education courses. While many of these courses may transfer to a four-year College or university, the programs themselves do not have transferability as their primary goal. Students are encouraged to discuss career goals and educational objectives with an Advisor prior to enrolling in these programs. Courses numbered below 100 cannot be used to satisfy elective requirements for A.A.S. degrees.
