The Lamar University Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree provides you a direct path to a fully accredited bachelor's degree if you have completed course work for technical, applied or military credit or if you have a technical or applied degree from a community or technical college. The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences at Lamar University is designed for students who typically have already gained some real-world work experience. This includes active-duty military or veterans seeking college credit for courses taken as part of their training in the service, transfer students wanting credit for workforce or technical courses taken at a community or technical college, students interested in developing multiple areas of expertise and students who have a significant number of credit hours. Our BAAS program accepts and builds on these unique credits, combining them with course work intended to meet your individual or career goals. Flexible evening, weekend and online courses make it easy for you to earn a BAAS degree while balancing full-time or part-time work and your personal life.
