SVC’s Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management program is a two-year, 90 credit degree designed for professional-technical students who have completed an associate’s degree. The BAS-AM program combines 300-and 400-level managerial and general education courses to equip technically skilled students with occupationally contextualized business and general knowledge typically necessary for advancement to managerial-level positions or to operate an entrepreneurial venture.

The program which starts each fall, is open to any student with two-year degrees, such as AAS, ATA, AA, or AS degrees. Students in the program will earn upper division credits in applied business management and will start the program as a Junior.

This program has a separate application and admission process then other SVC programs.
