Bachelor of Applied Science

Established in 1975, The Bachelor of Applied Science Degree (BAS) is a career-oriented degree for professionals with allied health, public safety, technical/industrial, and/or specialized occupational backgrounds. The BAS Degree is structured on an “inverted major” concept which builds an individually-designed academic degree program around the allied health, public safety, technical, or occupational “major” you have already completed.

Each BAS student develops a customized degree plan appropriate to his or her education and future goals. Students receive no additional training in their major area from Siena Heights University; instead they complete their bachelor degree by taking liberal arts classes, management classes, and other course work appropriate to their prior learning and future goals.
