Bachelor of Applied Studies
The Bachelor of Applied Studies (BAS) is an online degree program designed for community college graduates.

Students may incorporate one of three certificate programs into their BAS studies:
- Certificate in Entrepreneurial Management
- Certificate in Nonprofit Management
- Certificate in Public Health
Or BAS students may develop an individual program in general studies or one of these emphasis areas:
- Creative Writing
- Human Relations
- Justice Studies
- Political Science
See the Continuing Education Website for course information.
