Applied Management

Columbia Basin College ETPL
Columbia Basin College offers a Bachelors of Applied Science (BAS) degree in Applied Management. This degree is designed for those who have earned an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree, but lack the broader business-related education needed to move into leadership positions. Many AAS holders have reached a plateau in their career, unable to advance because they cannot meet the bachelor's degree requirements for many supervisory positions. The BAS degree will broaden career opportunities and help graduates climb the career ladder leading to improved chances for promotion to management positions.
