The bachelor of science in applied science (BSAS) degree is designed to serve Florida's associate of science (AS) graduates who seek a flexible program that recognizes the value of academic work already completed and requires only 60 additional credit hours beyond the AS degree. This program supplements the technical skills learned in study for the AS degree and provides the remainder of the general education needed to obtain a bachelor's degree.
The BSAS general business program at USF Polytechnic equips students with knowledge in:
- Accounting
- Finance
- Management
- Marketing
- Entrepreneurship
Students may tailor their degree program to meet their personal interest or career goals. In addition to the general business concentration, students may select a secondary concentration or supplement their degree with a variety of interesting electives. The BSAS degree with the general business concentration does not require you to have any prior business course work. Students often choose this concentration to increase their business skills to transition into management or supervisory positions.
