Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS)

The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree allows students who have completed work or an associate's degree from a community college to complete a four-year degree without losing credit for most of their earlier work. The degree plan has been structured to allow a student to broaden their transfer work with advanced study in prescribed business related coursework . Students who complete the BAAS degree will be eligible to enroll in graduate programs if they have selected their electives with care.
