The bachelor of science degree program in Applied Studies meets individual needs. Students work extensively with academic advisors to develop an individually custom-built program of study. This program addresses the needs of individuals whose educational objectives cannot be met through traditional degree programs.

Among those for whom the program works best are technical and community college A.A.S. graduates or other students who have occupational competence. The degree provides a professionally accommodating entry point for such students to develop an individualized bachelor's degree--a degree customized to meet their career objectives and needs.
