The Bachelor of Applied Science allows you to take classes 100% online or take a combination of online and in-person classes. You will work with your advisor to build a custom degree plan with concentrations tailored to your interests.
Transferring credits from an Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Intermediate Technical Certificate or Advanced Technical Certificate is required to be admitted to this program. If you need additional foundational credits, the Online Degree Pathway can help you complete these general requirements online.
Selecting a full-time or part-time schedule
Multiple start dates are available throughout the academic year, and you can take classes on a part-time or full-time schedule that works for you. Students attending full-time can complete the program in as little as one year.
Before deciding on a full-time or part-time schedule, ask yourself:
- Do I have seven to nine hours per week, per class to devote to studying?
- What other obligations currently require my time?
