Applied Management, B.A.S. major

The Applied Management program is designed to prepare individuals to pursue a variety of technology-related management career paths in business or industry. The program is designed specifically for individuals who typically possess a two-year technical degree and are interested in advancing their professional career. The program permits students to apply their 2 year technical degree credits toward a baccalaureate degree. Coupled with a two-year technical/applied degree providing a focused foundation, students complete junior and senior-level courses covering a broad range of technology and applied management concepts and applications. This breadth provides maximum flexibility for graduates to pursue diverse employment opportunities. Completion of the degree is available through a web-based distance delivery format. Students should work closely with an advisor to obtain program and course selection information.
