The BAS in Applied Management is designed for students who have completed an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher education or technical training provider. The degree is intended for students who have expertise within a specific technical area, experience working within that field, and who seek to further their education and move into management or administrative roles by completing the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Although previous work experience within a specific technical field is not required for entry into the program, it is highly encouraged.
A minimum of 60 credits from a completed AAS will be applied to the BAS degree, however additional lower-division coursework may be required as a part of the degree requirements. A minimum of 45 upper-division credits are required for completion of the bachelor’s degree.
