Program: U5230
The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Supervision and Management program provides individuals with an associate’s degree or the equivalent the opportunity to further their education and advance in their chosen professions. Students build upon the foundational skills attained through their associate’s degree programs by completing upper-division coursework in management and leadership practices. Upper-level coursework in the BAS program provides students with the opportunity to engage in a concentrated area of study and develop a theoretical and practical understanding of organizational management.
Admission Criteria
Admission to this program requires an AS/AAS or AA degree (or the equivalent) from a regionally accredited school or college, and at least a 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 point scale. If the student’s associate’s degree is from a non-regionally accredited institution, but one that is accredited by a body that is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, a course-by-course evaluation will be done according to Polk State College’s (PSC) transfer practices and policies.
