Interdisciplinary Studies Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences
The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences program is a post-professional degree completion program designed to allow individuals who have received an Associate of Applied Arts (A.A.A.) or Applied Sciences (A.A.S.) degree at another institution to complete a Bachelor-level degree, while transferring certain credits obtained to Texas Wesleyan University to fulfill specified requirements for this degree plan. Applied coursework transferred to Texas Wesleyan as a part of this program, may not be applicable to any other degree program offered by the University.
Eligible students with an A.A.A. or A.A.S. from U.S. community colleges and universities, or with equivalent two or three-year degrees from a non- US institution, can complete the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree at Texas Wesleyan University. The degree completion program is designed so that candidates may successfully complete the 124 credithour program on a full-time basis in approximately two years or on a part-time basis in approximately three to four years, depending upon the pace at which the student chooses to take required courses. The time limit for the completion of the degree is ten years.
Students who do not complete the B.A.A.S. program, and wish to pursue another degree at Texas Wesleyan University, must meet all academic requirements for the degree being sought. Applied course credits transferred to the University, which were taken as a part of an A.A.A. or A.A.S. degree curriculum and applied to meet requirements of the B.A.A.S. degree, may be used to meet requirements of another degree
