Our programs are affordable, flexible, and career focused.

What is a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) Degree?

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) is a four-year degree, specifically designed to build on professional-technical associate degrees, such as Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees. BAS degrees include core courses from the related AAS degree, general education courses and upper division (300 and 400 level) courses.

BAS degrees are developed based on the demand from local employers. BAS degrees incorporate more applied, hands-on learning than a traditional bachelor’s degree, allowing students to advance their practical skills and knowledge that today’s employers demand and become competitive in the job market. Graduates with a BAS degree may apply to related master's degree programs.

What is a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Degree?

Green River College’s Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Program prepares students for careers as bachelor's prepared Registered Nurses.
