FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions

Designed specifically for career pathways, applied bachelor’s degrees build on earlier career training, such as an Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology. They provide career advancement pathways for working professionals with technical degrees.
These degrees are designed with the needs of working professionals in mind. The Community Health and Health Information Management degrees are offered completely online. The Applied Management degree is offered partially online, with campus classes generally meeting Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6-9 and alternate Saturdays 9-3.
It depends. Our programs are designed to build on associate degree programs and work experience, but in order to complete a BAS you may need to take one or more 100-200 level course, such as Communications or Statistics, that were not required for your associate degree. In most cases, we allow you to take those classes while you are taking your BAS courses.
