Bachelor of applied arts and science degree (BAAS) is designed for students who have a significant number of vocational/technical training in a specific field who want to apply those hours toward a bachelor's degree. These degrees are great for people who are already working in a specific field, in which their vocational/techical hours have been earned and want to advance in that specific field and are needing a bachelor's degree. I am an advisor and would not recommend a student who is just starting out to pursue a BAAS degree because a BBA, BA, BS or BAAS degree are all the same amount of hours. For someone who already has a bunch of vocational/technical hours this is great news! For someone who has to go back and take a bunch of hours in a vocation/tech field would be better off just following a more traditional degree. That is unless they are pursuing an associates degree and want to stay within a particular vocational/technical field for an extended amount of time. A BBA, BA, BS is much more flexible in my opinion.
What else can I help you with?
What is difference between BE and BS Degree?
just because it is different
What is the difference between a BS degree and a BSW degree?
A bachelor's of science (BS) is a general degree category from which many specific programs of study (majors) fall. The BSW is specific to a bachelor's in social work.
Does it make difference if you get a BS degree Master degree and EdD degree from the same school?
No, as long as the school has the appropriate accreditation.
Is there a bacherlors degree in applied science?
Yes, there is. They're not as common as "Associate in Applied Science" (AAS) degrees, but "Bachelor of Applied Science" (BAS) degrees do exist.And BAS degrees suffer from much the same problem as AAS degrees: Not enough "lower-division general education" (LDGE) during the first two (freshman and sophomore) years.In fact, many BAS programs are really just degree-completion programs for AAS degree holders so that said AAS degree holders, whose AAS degrees suffer from not enough LDGE, may nevertheless get a bachelors degree of some kind in only two years of study after the AAS degree.The reason such is necessary is because AAS degrees usually contain much less -- sometimes as little as half -- the amount of LDGE as "Associate of Arts" (AA), or "Associate of Science" (AS) degrees......both of which, because they (AA/AS degrees) contain the same amount of LDGE as BA/BS degrees, typically count as the entire first and second (freshman and sophomore) years of said BA/BS degree. And so the AA/AS degree holder who transfers said AA/AS degree into the BA/BS degree may begin said BA/BS degree as a full junior, and then complete just the junior and senior years, and earn a BA or BS degree.However, an AAS degree holder, who only has maybe half of the LDGE of an AA/AS degree holder, will find it very difficult to transfer his/her AAS degree into a BA or BS program... because, again, the AAS will be too deficient in LDGE to qualify as the first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the BA/BS. And so the AAS student finds himself/herself having to take sometimes as much as almost a year of full-time LDGE coursework in order to get "caught-up" with the BA/BS's LDGE requirements before s/he may be considered a full junior in the BA/BS program. The AAS transfer student, then, can end-up having to take almost three years to get the BA/BS, whereas the AA/AS student can do it on only two.Many -- not all, but many -- BAS degrees were created so that AAS degree holders could get their bachelors in two years, just like that AA/AS degree holders. But the BAS is still deficient in LGDE compared with a BA/BS; and so the BAS may or may not be acceptable as requisite for entry into to a higher-level masters degree program (unless, of coures, it's a "master of applied science" degree... which I'm not even sure exists... I'd have to research it).While there are BAS degrees which may be entered into at the freshman level, and then pursued for four years until completion, most BAS degrees are simply to help AAS degree holders get their both AAS and BAS in the same four years as AA/AS degree holders can get their both AA/AS and BA/BS degrees.So the problem, then, begins at the AAS level. My advice is to never get an AAS unless you're absollutely, positively certain that that's the only degree you'll ever get. Ever!If you think that there's even the slightest possibility that you'll one day pursue a bachelors, then stay the heck away from AAS degrees! Instead, get an AA or AS so that you can one day transfer it into a BA or BS. Otherwise, if you get the AAS, you'll be limited to either a BAS, or to having to take longer to get a BA/BS.
What does BS mean for a degree?
BS stands for bachelor of science degree.
What is the difference between a BS in teacher education and a BA in teacher education?
The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge of the discipline. The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.
What is the difference between an associate's degree versus a Bachelor's degree?
An AA is only 2 years of college while a BA/BS is an additional 2 years for a total of 4 years. The AA is often earned in a community college while the BA is a university degree.

What is the difference between a fs slide and a bs slide?
Fs (frontside) is your facing the direction your moving while doing the slide, Bs (backside) is the opposite.
What is the difference between a ba and bs in computer science?
It depends on the institution and Computer Science department within the school as to which focus they prefer. Typically, this program of study is a bachelors of science (BS) degree. However, the below describes - in brief - the difference between a bachelors of arts (BA), and a bachelors of Science (BS) degree. The BA has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study. The BS is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.
When someone is pursuing a BS degree what will they graduate with?
A bachelor's in science (BS) is a general degree type from which many specific programs of study (majors) fall. For example, a BS in engineering, nursing, biology, etc. Read the following for the difference between the bachelor in arts (BA), and the bachelor in science (BS) degree.The Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) has a broader scope, with a strong emphasis on the humanities, theoretical and general knowledge in a recognized discipline, interdisciplinary field, or of a professional study.The Bachelor of Science degree (BS) is more of a focused approach with a science base to include a balance of liberal arts, technological knowledge, math and computer oriented skills, and practical skills needed for a particular discipline within the field.
