The degree is an exciting option for students who have completed their technical studies and want to enhance their leaderships skills and marketability.
Students take career-specific courses first, followed by general education courses.
And they can take the first two years at a technical or community college. Because there are a variety of programs leading to the associate of applied science degree, the curriculum for the bachelor's degree in professional studies is diverse and highly individualized. Each student who enrolls in the program will meet with University officials to design a program of courses needed to earn the degree. Students bring approximately 64 hours of credit classes from their associate of applied science degree and take another 64 hours toward a bachelor of professional studies degree. They must take a total of 34 hours of general education courses and nine hours of liberal arts electives.
