Is a Bachelors degree from a recognized university the same as an Applied Bachelors degree (also known as a Baccalaureate Degree in Applied Studies) from another post secondary institution?
No, they are not exactly the same. An Applied Bachelors degree would not meet the requirements when a degree from a recognized university is specified on a Statement of Merit Criteria. A Bachelor’s degree is an undergraduate degree offered by universities, normally requiring three or four years of full-time study. It focuses more on theory and research. An Applied Bachelor’s degree is a degree offered by some postsecondary institutions, normally requiring four years of full-time study, primarily in technology fields, emphasizes technical applications, and frequently involves fieldwork or practical training. The focus of an Applied Bachelors degree is less on theory and more on practical elements in preparation for entry directly into a particular field of practice.
