Bachelor of Applied Science

Louisiana Christian University’s Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree is structured for students who have completed associate of science, associate of applied science, associate of applied technology, or a technology degree and builds on a student’s technical expertise and provides the next step to advance a student’s career goals. This program provides the pathway for students to complete the Bachelor of Applied Science degree by allowing students to transfer up to 60 hours of earned credits, 45 of which may be technical and/or approved military credits. The program requires additional studies in general education courses and other academic courses. LCU’s online options provide the flexibility to meet the needs of working adults and transfer students from a variety of technical backgrounds.

With an individualized curriculum, students have the option of selecting a combination of stackable micro-credentials, certificates, or minors to complete the 30 hours needed after all the general education requirements are fulfilled. These emphasis areas are designed to complement career goals and gain higher level positions.
