A specially designed bachelor program for associate-degree holders in applied, technical, or career-oriented fields.
What some local employers are saying about the B.A.S.
Linda McEvoy, Delta
"My program of study is Bachelors of Applied Studies with a minor in Marketing. I chose this program for two reasons. First of all, SVSU accepted all of my credits from Delta College and applied them to my bachelor's degree. Secondly, SVSU has a very accommodating schedule of classes for the working person. I have never had a problem finding classes that would fit my schedule. I have consulted the counseling center a few times for some suggestions on scheduling and they have always been very helpful. I'm glad I chose SVSU! Going back to school when you are 34 is a challenge in itself and the teachers at SVSU have been great to work with! I would highly recommend the BAS program."
