Program Description
The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi is designed to build on the knowledge and skills that students have gained through vocational and/or technical studies at an accredited institution. The program consists of three component areas: first, the transfer of vocational/technical credit hours (from 3-42 hours); second, the completion of the Core Curriculum Program (42 hours) or the core of another accredited institution; and third, the completion of both a professional track curriculum and UNIV 4350 University Studies Capstone (3 sch) that together provide both academic and professional depth to individuals who possess recognized competence in a vocations or technical field (21-27 hours).
Students are required to earn a minimum of 120 hours for the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree. Students can select one of eight tracks in the BAAS program: Applied Leadership (fully available online), Childhood Development/Early Childhood Education, Community and Mental Health, Criminal Justice, Environmental and Occupational Safety/Emergency Response, Information Technology, Legal Studies, or Technical Communication (fully available online).
Minors
When declaring a minor in conjunction with the BAAS degree, there are several items to keep in mind:
- Only 6 hours (or two courses) can count towards both the requirements of the BAAS major and the declared minor.
- The minor must have a minimum of 12 credit hours of distinctive coursework that is not used towards the BAAS major course requirements.
- Based on the above specifications, students cannot, for example, complete the BAAS Technical Communication degree and obtain a Technical and Professional Writing Minor.
