Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Administration
The Bachelor of Applied Science degree at Saint Leo University is available only for students with Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees in a science or technical field, not for students with A.S. or A.A.S. degrees in a major for which the university offers a B.A. or B.S. degree program.
Graduates from this program will not only have applied skills but also a liberal arts education and the business leadership skills to gain promotion or become managers in the workplace or military.
The B.A.S. degree requires that the holder of the A.S. or A.A.S. degree have in their degree at least 60 total hours of credits in the following two areas: 42-45 hours of related science or technical credits (courses must be in the same general area, e.g., electronics, avionics, etc) and 15-18 hours of general education.
Any non-area related or non-general education courses are not transferable toward the degree and must be replaced by business/general education courses from Saint Leo University. Prospective students should be aware that Saint Leo University will allow only 64 credits to be transferred from a community college (see current Student Academic Catalog, Transfer Student Section).
