Overview
The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) Business program provides the opportunity for students who have earned technical, vocational, or military education and training to complete a baccalaureate degree in business. Upon graduation, BAAS Business students will be equipped to apply their vocational training and skills within a business environment, and will also have learned the foundations needed for advanced business and management degrees.
Program Level Student Learning Outcomes
The student will be able to:
- Demonstrate proficiency in written communications.
- Demonstrate proficiency in oral presentations.
- Exhibit cross-cultural competencies that will aid in communicating and working with people from different cultures.
- Design and defend a reasoned resolution to an ethical challenge.
- Demonstrate knowledge proficiency in the core business disciplines and integrate across multiple business disciplines.
- Make decisions through business data analysis.
Although the BAAS Business major is in the College of Business Administration, interested students from non-business backgrounds are encouraged to consider if they wish to receive more advanced business training to further their career.
Program Requirements
The program allows students to apply up to 36 semester credit hours of related technical, vocational, or military education and training as the foundation of their occupational specialization in the degree program. To qualify for the program, a minimum of 12 semester credit hours (technical/vocational/military courses) in an occupational specialization area (OSA) is required to qualify for the program. Academic coursework may be taken to meet the 36 semester credit hour requirement, but coursework must be directly related to the area of specialization or business.
Conferred Degrees or Certificates of Completion
A student with a conferred AAS degree or CC equivalent to at least 30 semester credit hours from one of the six regional accreditors shall be considered OSA complete upon admission to the university. A student with a conferred AAS degree or CC from an institution that is non-regionally accredited may also be considered OSA complete as long as the accreditor appears on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's (THECB) list of recognized nationally accredited agencies. Contact the Office of Recruitment and Undergraduate Admission with questions regarding recognized accreditors.
Occupational Specialization
Military Education
All military evaluated credit, based on ACE recommendations, designated as lower level (L), or 1000-2999 level, will be accepted to fulfill the 36 semester credit hours of occupational specialization. However, the student must meet the initial 12 hours qualification requirement with American Council on Education (ACE) recommended credit from military courses. These are identified in the service transcripts by a designated regulation number. Once the service member meets the minimum 12 hours, relevant lower level ACE recommended military occupational specialty (MOS) credits may be then applied to meet the final 24 hours in the occupational specialization area. In the military transcripts, credits are awarded for the ‘same’ skills multiple times. However, the awarding of credit is at different skill levels. Only the ACE credit at the higher skill level will be accepted for credit in the BAAS-BUSI Occupational Specialization Area. See the Coordinator, Military Services if there are questions concerning skill levels.
Technical/Vocational (non-conferred degree/non-certificate and non-military)
A student that does not have a conferred AAS or CC may apply technical or vocational credit earned at an accredited college to the OSA. The applied credit must comprise an emphasis in a particular discipline (minimum 12 semester credit hours). The student will then be responsible to complete the remaining 24 semester credit hours, either with other relevant technical or vocational credit, military education, training, or academic credit, as previously prescribed.
Training
A student may have participated in work-related training outside of the academic or military education environment. Acceptable training must be related to the student’s technical or vocational emphasis. Students must provide verified evidence of training, which include the number of contact hours. Verification includes transcripts provided by the trainer or training institution or certification of training by the student’s supervisor at the time of the training. Additionally, certificates of completion should be provided with a supervisor’s certification.
College of Business Administration’s academic advisors may recommend semester credit hours based on the number of contact hours. Contact hour conversion to semester credit hour: 15 contact hours = 1 semester credit hour (i.e. 45 contact hours = 3 semester credit hours).
