Bachelor of Science
Applied Studies
A Partnership Between
The College of Business & Public Policy &
Coastline Community College
The Bachelor of Science in Applied Studies in the College
of Business and Public Policy is a specially designed degree
program that meets the needs of community college students
who have earned associate degrees in technical fields for
which there is no apparent bachelors degree program into
which they may readily transfer and pursue upper division
coursework. This program emphasizes the practical applications
of academic subjects in real world situations. It enables
students with technical or vocational associate degrees
to obtain bachelors degrees with advanced coursework related
to the associate degrees and prepares them for leadership
roles in the occupations of their associate degrees.
Preparation
The primary criterion for admission to the Applied Studies
major program is possession of an Associate degree(or a
minimum 56 semester units) from an accredited community
college, or the equivalent, which must include English Composition,
Speech, Critical Thinking, and Math.
Benefits
* Provides majors with the foundation necessary to facilitate
occupational achievement and leadership by bridging technical
skills, knowledge and background with management, administration,
and communication skills
* Assists majors in achieving leadership in their respective
fields by providing focused studies in appropriate disciplines
for occupational leadership and by providing breadth of
knowledge through social sciences, natural sciences, and
humanities
* Enables majors to obtain key transferable skills for
the workplace in areas of critical reasoning, problem solving,
and clear communication
* Provides a degree completion program that combines quality
and efficiency by emphasizing flexible delivery, convenient
scheduling and continuous faculty advising
* Provides a quality degree in an affordable manner
Special Features
* Enables students to receive upper division instruction
leading to a baccalaureate degree from California State
University without leaving the community college setting.
CSU faculty will travel to the convenient Coastline Garden
Grove Center to conduct courses scheduled for working adults
* Accepts the transfer of up to 18 units of technical coursework
not typically transferable in other bachelors programs
