Bachelor of Applied Sciences - Professional Development in Johnson City United States | East Tennessee State University

The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) program enables students holding an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in technical disciplines to pursue a bachelor's degree while maximizing the transfer of their AAS credits. This pathway isn't available for health-related degrees or AAS programs with existing ETSU articulation agreements. B.A.S. candidates work closely with their advisor to create a customized study plan tailored to their career goals and professional growth. This plan must incorporate either: 1) a professional focus area combining an ETSU minor with supplementary courses totaling 27 credits, or 2) an individualized 30-credit upper-division concentration. Individuals with existing bachelor's degrees cannot enroll in the B.A.S. program, and current B.A.S. students are ineligible for dual majors at ETSU.
