BAS in Applied Management

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management (BAS-AM) degree builds upon any associate degree (2-year) degree by adding junior and senior year courses focused on applied management. The program provides customized, high-demand management skills courses geared toward the needs of various industry sectors in the local economy. Perfect for working adults who need more flexibility in their schedules and have a job and/or family responsibilities. Classes can be taken 100% online. Students will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to enter, advance in management or supervisory positions, or start their own business.

The BAS degree includes courses in:

  • Accounting
  • Project Management
  • Human Resources
  • Organizational Behavior and Leadership
  • Marketing
  • Business communication

Students will complete an Applied Management Capstone project in the final year of the program. The project is an opportunity for students to develop a meaningful product as an accumulation of the course work and demonstrate their learning.
