coursework. These
degrees build upon the knowledge a student gained through the pursuit
of the
AAS while providing the education and critical-thinking skills that
open career
opportunities. The BAS and BAT degrees are administered through
the
Student Services Office in the College of Technology. All individual
degree
plans are approved by assigned advisors and by a representative
University committee.
