The Bachelor of Applied (B.A.S.) degree is designed to
offer students with Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees in technical
fields the opportunity to obtain a baccalaureate degree by using more of their
A.A.S. hours than normally transfer to a four-year institution. It is not
intended for students with degrees in health-related areas where articulation
agreements with ETSU already exist. The B.A.S. is an individualized
program that allows students to design a program of study that best meets their
needs for professional development and career enhancement.
General Education Core Requirements
General education core requirements are required for all ETSU degrees.
Additionally, completion of two writing, one oral and two technology intensive
designated ETSU courses are required.
Gateway Courses
Five ETSU courses are five ETSU courses required by all B.A.S. students
including the following: ENGL 1020, MATH 1530, and HIST 2010 and/or advisor
approved courses. Each course must be completed with a minimum 2.0 prior to
petitioning to earn credit for the following technical specialty courses from
A.A.S. degrees.
Technical courses from A.A.S. degree are courses that did not have direct transfer. In order to petition to earn credit for these hours, students must have met two conditions: 1) completion of all Gateway courses with minimum 2.0 (C) in each course and (2) a minimum overall 2.0 GPA for all ETSU work.
Professional Development Concentration
This consists of either: (1) an existing ETSU minor ( Minors that require
fewer than 27 hours must be complemented with approved electives to total 27
hours), OR (2) a self-design program. This option must include a total
of 30 hours of upper-division course work (30000/4000) in total degree program.
General electives include approved electives to complete 120 total hours.
