Business – Bachelor of Applied Science

Bachelor of Applied Science in Management, BAS

Offered in Management and Tourism Management

This degree program offers a 100% online option.

The BAS degree was the first degree of its type in the State of Oregon. It prepares students for managerial careers in technical fields offering two concentration areas of study: Management and Tourism Management. This program offers a seamless transition from an associate’s degree in a technical field earned outside of business to a bachelor’s degree program. Traditionally, technical credits were treated as “non-transfer,” but this program values the work completed at the community college and saves student time and money.

Students will conduct a comprehensive analysis of individual and group behaviors in organizations, demonstrate a thorough understanding of the basic fundamentals of business, use critical thinking skills and practical knowledge to solve specific business management problems, and apply career development strategies and progress into management-level positions.
