Program Requirements
- Student must have minimum overall GPA (as defined by Banner) of 2.0 at time of application
- The student must satisfy one of the four career course requirements prior to being admitted to BAS program:
- Must have an AAS or AAT (Career Associate Degree) from a regionally accredited college or university with 38 transferrable technical or career credit hours
OR - Must have at least 38 semester credit hours of professional/technical courses from a regionally accredited college or university with a grade of C or higher and 21 of these 38 hours must be in one professional/technical area. If the student has 30- 37 professional/technical courses, he/she will need to take additional courses to satisfy the 38 hour requirement; the student’s advisor will recommend appropriate courses.
OR - Must have at least 12 semester credit hours of military courses from the U.S. Military. If the student has less than the 38 transferrable technical/career/military courses, he/she will need to take additional courses to satisfy the 38 hour requirement; these courses can be satisfied from a combination of additional technical or career courses, military credit and/or lower division academic credit. The student’s advisor will recommend appropriate courses. Please note that students cannot use lower division academic courses to satisfy both the block credit (38 hours) and core curriculum (Areas A-F) requirements. Therefore, students may need to take additional courses to satisfy their core curriculum requirements.
OR - Must have at least 360 out-of-class clock hours of state or professional approved certification work which is equivalent to 12 academic credit hours. The department can only accept a maximum of 1,080 out-of-class clock hours or 36 academic credit hours. To meet the 38 academic hour requirement for entrance into the BAS program, students will need to take additional courses which can be a combination of technical or career courses, military credit and/or lower division academic credit. The student’s advisor will recommend appropriate courses. Please note that students cannot use lower division academic courses to satisfy both the block credit (38 hours) and Core IMPACTS and Field of Study requirements. Therefore, students may need to take additional courses to satisfy their core curriculum requirements.
