BAS-Behavioral Health

Big Bend Community College ETPL

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Behavioral Health degree builds upon any associate degree (2-year) degree by adding junior and senior year courses focused on behavioral health. The program is directly aligned with the Behavioral Health Support Specialist credential (BHSS). A bachelor-prepared BHSS delivers evidence-based interventions for common behavioral health conditions (i.e. depression, anxiety, substance use disorders) as part of an integrated care team.

Graduates could expect to serve a variety of populations including young adults, older adults, people experiencing homelessness, people in recovery from addictions, victims of emotional, physical and sexual abuse, victims of domestic violence, veterans, and tribal members.
