RESOURCES
Bachelor of Applied Science
This degree is perhaps one of the most practical in the Great Basin College Integrative Curriculum. Designed specifically for students who have earned an associate degree from any regionally accredited college, the program is particularly suited to accommodate working adults whose schedules may be limited due to work and time constraints. There are currently five emphases, all entailing completion of General Education Requirements (PDF file*) in addition to emphasis courses. The links below provide descriptions and specific course requirements for each emphasis:
- Digital Information Technology
- Human Services
- Instrumentation
- Management and Supervision
- Land Surveying/Geomatics
Meets Employer Demand
These are particularly attractive to employers of the region’s mining industry and provide an avenue of continuing education for all persons with work experience to complete a baccalaureate degree at Great Basin College. The program is intended to build on the students’ associate’s degree curricula, work experience, and maturity, providing them with communication and problem solving skills, management and organizational theories and practice, technical and mathematical competencies, and a broad, liberal arts view of the world and the workplace. This training will prepare students for employment in demanding management positions of many career fields, if they select that emphasis.
