Leaders of the Modern Workforce
The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) in Business Administration degree allows individuals holding an associate degree (A.A.S) in an approved technical field the opportunity to progress toward a baccalaureate degree by accepting a predetermined amount of career and technical credit. The B.A.S. graduate will be able to combine the applied skill set learned in his or her career / technical program and his or her accrued real world experience with the managerial skills learned at The W to build pathways for further career advancement.
Scholarship opportunities exist for transfer students who have earned greater than a 3.0 GPA as well as PTK members.
Best of Both Worlds
The goal of the B.A.S. program is to integrate the skills learned in approved technical fields, the current theories of a chosen discipline, and the broader life development afforded by a liberal arts education together to develop well-rounded graduates ready to lead in an increasingly technology-driven workforce.

Flexibility

Personalized Advising
At large universities, advising may be conducted in a central advising office and you may end up attending large group advising sessions. At MUW, business majors and minors are advised by full-time faculty members who will provide you with meaningful, personalized one-on-one academic counseling, scheduling of classes, mentoring, and career planning.
