Bachelor of Applied Arts,
Major in Administration
Like the BS degree, the BAA works well for students working in administrative careers in the public, non-profit and private sectors. The core courses provide a foundation in administrative competencies that are common to most supervisory positions, and the concentrations allow you to focus on an area of particular interest. The BAA allows you to take maximum advantage of licensure or other credentials you have already earned in your field. Appropriate course work and experience can be transferred into the program to meet requirements for one of several minors such as: Allied Health, Community Justice, Economics, Industrial Technology, Nursing and Psychology. Graduates of this program are prepared for mid-level administrative positions in industry, hospitality, health care and related fields.
Note: A minor is required for the BAA program. A minor can be completed with
a combination of transfer credit, on-site courses, and distance delivery
courses. Some courses may only be offered at the Mount Pleasant, Michigan
campus. Contact your academic advisor for details.
