Complete your bachelor's degree

Bachelor of Science in Technology


Start with an AAS and AS degree, add a concentration and general education courses, earn a bachelor's degree with a career-oriented emphasis.

Individuals with an AS or an AAS degree can earn a BST degree by

  1. Completing Western’s general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree. These courses (e.g., additional humanities, social science, science courses) may be completed at regional community colleges, online, or at Western.

  2. Developing a concentration related to your career goals. A minimum of 10 courses is required.

  3. Completing at least 30 hours of junior and senior level coursework. (Typically, these 30 hours will overlap substantially, or entirely, with the concentration.)

  4. Maintaining a 2.3 GPA in the concentration.

  5. Earning at least 60 hours at a four-year college (may include transfer courses and online courses).
Courses are available at Western’s Northland site, online and at Western’s main campus.

Samples of combinations of AAS or AS degrees and concentrations:
Any combination of an AAS/AS degree and junior and senior level coursework is possible, provided it is educationally sound and clearly supportive of a career goal.
