The Bachelor of Applied Science degree (B.A.S.) offers career advancement opportunities to people who have earned the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), the Associate of Applied Technology (A.A.T.), or other career associate degrees. Students who have earned career associate degrees at Clayton State University or at other regionally accredited institutions can bridge smoothly into the B.A.S. program with little or no loss of credit. To complete the B.A.S. at Clayton State, students will take additional general education classes and advanced courses appropriate to their fields and career interests. The B.A.S. can be earned in four semesters of full time study, or students can attend part-time. Many courses will be offered in a partial online or 100% online format.
The majors in the B.A.S. program prepare graduates to move into supervisory positions in corporate settings, retail environments, plants, shops and other businesses. Courses in management, marketing, and accounting help students blend their specific expertise with new managerial skills. The curriculum, which includes experiential learning opportunities, covers vital topics such as management, marketing, personnel relations, professionalism, and quality control.
