Program Description

The Bachelors of Applied Science in Business Administration program is a path for students seeking to complete a 4-year degree in business. Students apply core business principles in accounting, finance, marketing, management, operations, and law. Some careers may require or prefer a Bachelor's degree. This program is designed for students who have completed an associate degree in business or equivalent and want to complete a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) Business Administration Degree. Students apply concepts of the core business discipline with a concentration in Business Administration to implement principles of business ethics and law, marketing, finance, operations, and strategic management, and demonstrate responsive leadership skills to achieve sustainable business. Students integrate business tools to analyze and manage business practices to achieve positive organizational outcomes. This program is a continuation of preparation for entry into a variety of business fields and will prepare students to thrive in business fields such as management, analyst, finance, marketing, human resources, and other business positions. This program can be completed fully online with either full-time or part-time student academic plans. For students currently enrolled in either the associate applied science or associate degree for business programs, the program is flexible for adult learners allowing extended time to earn a degree. As some positions require bachelor’s level education, the BAS can increase eligibility for employment in business roles and organizational leadership.
