The undergraduate major in Business and Applied Science, offered through the College of Business , is a capstone program to the many varied applied programs offered at community colleges. It is intended to prepare students for careers that require both technical skills and business knowledge. It is ideal for applied science program graduates (A.A.S.) interested in continuing their education in careers involving business and management.
Special Admission Requirements
In addition to the university criteria, applicants must have earned an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in a technical major from a regionally-accredited institution of higher education. Students not meeting the admission requirement of an A.A.S. in an occupational program, but who have completed 24 or more hours in technical course work and have met other university admission criteria, may be considered for admission.
