Undergraduate Information

If you have completed or will complete an associate degree from a community college, you may pursue the following undergraduate academic plan at NAU:

• bachelor of applied science (B.A.S.)

Our goal in offering the B.A.S. degree is to provide you with a general knowledge of management, organizational, and policy issues and to advance your communication, computer, and quantitative skills. This degree also offers you the opportunity to complete a specialization that will broaden your career horizons, promote life-long learning, and enrich your life. NAU offers this degree at selected campuses throughout Arizona.

In this section, we describe the general requirements for the B.A.S. degree. NAU currently offers eight B.A.S. specializations, and you may seek admission to the particular specialization you’re interested in by contacting the NAU department that offers that specialization.
