The Skagit Valley College Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management (BASAM) degree is a two-year, 90-credit career-oriented program that is designed for those who have completed a technical associate degree (AAS-T, AAS or ATA), which typically do not transfer to four-year universities.

Program Highlights

• Learning environment replicates an on-the-job learning experience through courses that model a management view perspective.
• Classes meet once a week and participants undertake the bulk of their learning independently or in groups, similar to the way workplace learning happens for a manager.
• The program offers two tracks: general management and health care management.
•  Both tracks start each fall and follow a dedicated application and admission process. For more information on the application steps, click here.
• If you have opted out of receiving emails from SVC, you will not receive any program materials. Please contact [email protected] to opt back in.
•  Upper-division classes carry higher tuition rates than associate degree courses. These rates are set by the State of Washington; you can find more information here.
