Overview
The Bachelor of
Science in Applied Science (BSAS) degree program is perfect for Florida
Associate in Science (AS) graduates looking to earn a bachelor’s degree.
The BSAS degree promotes students' career interests, serves employers'
workforce needs, meets university and Florida Board of Education
requirements for the baccalaureate degree and, through the block transfer,
respects the quality and content of the AS degree.
This program will enhance the students' technical education and experience
while providing the broader cognitive skills and perspectives that are
associated with baccalaureate education and are relevant in any working
environment.
The Bachelor of Science Applied Science (B.S.A.S)
degree program is a "capstone" or "inverted transfer" degree offering A.S.
degree holders an efficient pathway to a bachelor's degree. The B.S.A.S
degree is primarily intended to assist in job progression rather then
initial job qualifications, although it may also be of use to those who wish
to make mid-career changes.
