BAS/Computer Core

The Bachelor of Applied Science degree offers holders of Associate of Applied Science degrees the opportunity to pursue a four-year degree with a focus in accounting, computers, computer graphic design health care management, health and human services management, or management without losing a large number of credits in the transfer process. Accepting the AAS as evidence of expertise in an applied science, the BAS degree adds breadth through a liberal arts-based general education component and depth through the chosen core. The BAS graduate is thus prepared for greater career mobility and a more enriched life. In addition to the general requirements for the BAS degree noted previously (see "Requirement for Graduation with a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree" section), students must complete one of the following core requirements:

Computer Core Requirements: (33 credits)

Required Courses: (16 credits)

Choose three electives from the following: ART 215, BUS 352, CGD 253, 353, INF 242, 255, 330, 317, 391, 392

Collateral course requirements: (9 credits)

(PHI 402 may also be applied to General Education requirements.)

Additional degree requirements:

A student may be required to demonstrate competency in COBOL programming if previous COBOL course work was completed more than four years prior to enrollment at Ashford University. At least one programming courses, 200 level or above, must be taken at Ashford University.
