Degree description
The BAS program is a transfer pathway specifically for students who have earned a community college AAS degree. The goal of the program is to provide students with management, leadership, critical thinking and communication skills along with significant work in a professional specialization. Students must complete an Associate of Applied Science degree to be eligible for this program. AA and AS students are not eligible for this program.
This program allows students who have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree from a regionally accredited institution to transfer 60 credit hours toward a Bachelor of Applied Science degree at ASU. Students who have earned an Associate of Applied Science degree from a regionally accredited Arizona community college may be eligible to transfer up to 75 credits toward the Bachelor of Applied Science degree. The Bachelor of Applied Science curriculum builds on the general education content of the Associate of Applied Science and includes four blocks of credits: general studies, core, concentration and assignable credits.
The ASU General Studies requirements will be completed through upper-division coursework. The applied science core curriculum includes content in management and organization, professional communication, statistical processes and computer competency. The concentration has a 20-credit hour minimum of specialization courses. The assignable credits (six credit hours) are traditional electives selected in consultation with an advisor to enhance the curriculum. Assignable credit also can be used to strengthen math and science capabilities or computer skills.
Students in the Bachelor of Applied Science program can select one of six specialty concentrations shown below. Students who choose to create their own specialty should select the courses in conjunction with an advisor.
- aviation management technology
- electronic and energy systems
- graphic information technology
- Internet and Web development
- manufacturing technology and management
- operations management technology
