The Bachelor of Applied Science degree is designed to help students who have earned an associate’s degree in the trade and technical areas to pursue a bachelor’s degree that compliments and incorporates their prior college work.
There are four components to the degree.
✓ A student entering the program must have an Associate of Applied Science degree from an accredited community or technical college.
✓ The student must meet the University general education requirements worth 40 credits, some of which may be transferred in from his/her associate’s work.
✓ The student must select a minor from offerings in the current UMPI catalogue.
✓ And finally, the student must take at least 30 credits of his/her BAS coursework at UMPI, 12 of which must be in a selected minor and 18 of which must be upper level courses (300-400). These 18 upper level credits taken at UMPI may be taken as part of the GEC, the minor, or as elective credit.
