This Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Innovation is one of three BAS degrees is based on the STACKS model of clustering several courses around a specific disciplinary or workforce skill. Each STACK also qualifies as an institutional or proficiency certificate and will appear on the transcript. This BAS is a flexible degree completion program targeting adult students who have completed some college credit or experiential learning that could be accepted for college credit. An associate's degree is not required. This program is designed to develop innovation and technology development skills by clustering courses into STACKS of variable credits and configuring the STACKS into pathways to graduation. Once a student has completed 60 credits including completion of GE math and English requirements, acceptance into this BAS degree completion program is guaranteed. Students will work with the program advisor to select the STACKS pathway that is most applicable to their educational and employment goals. STACKS from the BAS programs in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and from the College of Business may also be incorporated into the graduation pathway for this degree.
