Overview
The Bachelor of Applied Science: Professional Studies (BAS-PS) degree is geared toward individuals who have earned an Associates of Applied Sciences (AAS) degree at any Colorado community college. In the BAS program, students stack credentials (i.e. applied/skills-based certificates), gaining transcript-verified certificates on their path to degree completion.
Our BAS-PS degree is more flexible than many other BAS degrees offered in the state and offers AAS holders the opportunity for further education and development to support their upskilling and/or leadership-focused career development goals. The certificates available in this program are all available fully online and can be designated on a transcript prior to graduation.
