Bachelor of Applied Science

Internet and Web Development Concentration

The B.A.S. with an Internet and Web Development concentration is designed to offer the working professional with an A.A.S. degree in an appropriate graphical focus an opportunity to learn advanced Web site design and development skills.

This program works as a compliment to the Community College Systems A.A.S. degree. Most, if not all, courses in this program concentration may be taken online. Students may participate as full or part-time students and complete the degree in as little as two years.

The goal of the program is to provide students with management, leadership, critical thinking, and communication skills — along with significant technical skills in the Web development arena — that will broaden their career horizons, promote life-long learning, and enrich their personal and professional life.

The B.A.S. is a 60-semester-hour program, divided into four segments:

  • General Studies - 19 semester hours
    In consultation with an advisor, students choose courses from the ASU General Studies list that contribute to a coherent overall curriculum that helps them meet their educational goals. General Studies include Numeracy, Lab Science, Literacy, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Science courses, including history, culture, and global awareness areas. All courses required by ASU must be upper-division courses.
  • B.A.S. Core - 15 semester hours
    The B.A.S. Core Curriculum focuses on management and organization, professional communication, statistical processes, and computer competencies. Students must take at least one three-semester-hour course in each of these four general categories. The remaining three semester hours are devoted to a second course in one of the above areas.
  • Concentration - 20 semester hours
    Students devote at least 20 semester hours to the concentration, either choosing from set curricula or developing a custom curriculum with the help of their advisor. Assignable Credits may be used to enhance the area of concentration.
  • Assignable Credits - six (6) semester hours
    Assignable Credits allow space in the curriculum for prerequisite courses some students might need to succeed in the program. Assignable credits may be used to strengthen specific capabilities, to strengthen knowledge of core areas, or can be used as elective.

After a sixty-hour block transfer of associate degree credits, students begin as juniors, completing all ASU graduation requirements.
