Bachelor of Applied Studies Transfer Tips

  • Students must have received an associate degree to be admitted to the Bachelor of Applied Studies (BAS) program.
  • Students who have received an Associate of Arts degree from an Iowa two-year institution participating in articulation agreements with the University of Iowa are considered to have satisfied all requirements of the BAS Core Requirements Program, except for "Business/Management."
  • Students are encouraged to complete the following Core Requirements before enrolling in the BAS online degree program:
    1. Rhetoric
    2. Quantitative and Formal Reasoning
    3. Social Science
    4. Values and Society
    5. Business/Management (Accounting, Business, Finance, Management, Marketing, Management Science, Entrepreneurship)
  • Core Requirement equivalencies can be found by using the Online Transfer Equivalency Guide.
  • The BAS is designed to be completed entirely online. Both synchronous and asynchronous online course options are available.
  • Most courses offer exams at our Iowa City Campus Testing Center or use an online proctoring examination service. A small number may require proctored exams.
