Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Technology and Management provides a path to a bachelor’s degree for those students who have completed a technical Associate of Applied Science (AAS) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from an accredited institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education (CHEA) and are seeking career advancement into management or in their technical career fields. The BAS builds on a core of 60 credits of career and technical education (CTE) courses taken as part of the AAS or AS degree, adding 65 credits of business, management, and information technology courses and 55 credits of broad-based general education courses to enable the BAS graduate to advance in the workplace or continue on to graduate school. The management core includes a three-term capstone senior project to enable the student to demonstrate successful integration of technical and managerial coursework.
