应用科学学士

梅森大学的应用科学学士学位（BAS）是专门为已获得应用科学副学士学位（AAS）学位的学生而创建的独特课程。攻读BAS学位的学生可以选择与自己的AAS学位相符的集中区.BAS学位的设计考虑了成人学习者的特点，但对所有年龄段的学生开放，为学生提供了灵活的学习体验。许多BAS集中课程可以完全在线完成，也可以通过混合格式完成。BAS计划可以为拥有AAS学位的学生提供大量的转学分。拥有AAS学位的学生转入传统的BA或BS课程通常会在转学过程中失去学分。对于BAS并非如此，许多向BAS的转账获得60或更多的学分，因此
Mason's Bachelor of Applied Science Degree (BAS) is a unique program created specifically for students who have earned an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. BAS students select a concentration area that aligns with their AAS degree.Designed with the adult-learner in mind, but open to students of all ages, the BAS degree offers a flexible learning experience for students. Many BAS concentrations can be completed entirely online, or via a hybrid format.The BAS program can award a high number of transfer credits to students with an AAS degree. Students with an AAS degree who transfer to traditional BA or BS programs often lose credits in the transfer process. This is not the case for BAS Many transfers to BAS receive 60 or more credits, so they arrive to Mason as Juniors. Traditionally, AAS degrees were considered terminal, workforce development degrees. BAS degrees were created to give AAS students a pathway to a baccalaureate. Likewise, BAS degrees are traditionally considered terminal. The goal of BAS is to get students a stellar job in their field of choice. While BAS may not be designed to lead to advanced study in master's or doctoral programs, students who wish to pursue this option are encouraged to contact such programs early if they desire that pathway.
