Bachelor of Applied Science

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree is limited to students with an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. The degree allows the transfer of an accredited (AAS) degree into a baccalaureate degree, counting the AAS credits much as credits in a major are counted.

Students who earned an AAS degree from a regionally accredited institution can enroll at MSU Billings to complete General Requirements and take upper-division credits in areas of study that will complement their already-earned AAS credits. The program is designed for students who want to build upon the technical strengths of their AAS degree. There are a variety of options for completing the BAS degree.

• Complete an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree from a regionally accredited college or university

• Earn at least 120 credits with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better. A maximum of 60 credits from an AAS degree may be used toward fulfilling this requirement.

• Satisfy the General Requirements of Montana State University Billings

• Earn a minimum of 30 credits at Montana State University Billings

• Complete at least 30 upper division credits, of which at least 21 must be earned from Montana State University Billings
