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.
What students are saying
Being able to complete my bachelor’s degree online, on my own time, is key for me. I am a parent, work full time, and run my own business. Because of my busy schedule, commuting to attend classes in person would not work for me. I can work on the BAS-AM program fully online, a great way to complete school.
I’m really happy with my decision to get my bachelor’s degree through Big Bend. At times it can be difficult to balance BAS-AM classes with my aviation ones, but my instructors are very understanding and helpful. Being completely online has made a big difference, it’s a lot easier to find time to do all the work.
It has not been easy to work towards higher education. However, BBCC has made it easier for me by offering the BAS-AM program. This program has provided me with excellent support services and affordability, just what I needed.
I recommend the BAS-AM program at Big Bend Community College to anyone wanting to advance their career in business management. The professors are engaging, the support staff is always there to help guide you, and the courses are exciting and well-put together. In addition, the information I am learning is invaluable. What I love the most is that I can work a full-time job and earn my undergraduate degree from the comfort of my own home.
I have enjoyed the BAS-AM program. I get all the help I need even on weekends. My instructors understand my work life and try to work with my schedule. At first I was worried about how to pay for the degree and I didn’t want to start taking out loans. I’m relieved FAFSA has been able to cover almost all the costs.
Potential positions include management, accounting, project management, or entrepreneurial. Obtaining advanced academic degrees may lead to administrative positions in business administration, education, and management. The demand for managers should remain strong over the next decade.
