Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.)

The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) degree program provides baccalaureate educational opportunities to Associate in Science (A.S.) graduates from Florida 's community colleges. The program's curriculum builds upon the technical or professional skills acquired in the A.S. curriculum, and is designed to develop enhanced competencies in organizational skills, management, and communication. In addition, emphasis will also be placed on the development of skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and ethical decision-making. This degree program is flexible, allowing students to complete any remaining general education or foreign language courses at their local community college. Students may also take internships or elective courses relevant to their professional or educational goals. Graduates will be able to use the knowledge, skills, and competencies acquired in the program to facilitate their career, personal, and professional growth, and to pursue graduate studies if that is their ultimate goal.

Beginning Fall 2005, the program will have two tracks:

  • Supervision and Administration (UCF at Daytona Beach and UCF at Cocoa)
  • Industrial Operations (UCF at Cocoa only)

Based on student and workforce demands, more tracks and locations will be added.

Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (B.A.B.A.)

The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (B.A.B.A.) at the University of Central Florida will provide access to a bachelor's degree for place bound A.A. students who wish to pursue a non-traditional business degree. This degree will replace the existing General Business Degree (B.S.B.A.) at UCF Regional Campuses. The curriculum retains the core Common Body of Knowledge courses in the existing undergraduate business programs but allows students to select any minor offered at the Regional Campus. The flexibility built into this degree program with the required minor allows students to tailor their course of study to meet the needs of either their current employment position or their career goals.

The B.A.B.A. is an individualized program of study consisting of the common program prerequisites, the business Common Body of Knowledge courses, an approved academic minor and one year of foreign language. Students can choose any minor outside the College of Business. The B.A.B.A. enables UCF's undergraduate students to graduate from UCF with a specialized degree, having a business emphasis, uniquely designed by the student and his or her advisor.
