What is the BAT degree?
The Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) degree is the degree of choice for students who have completed the requirements for or who have an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree at an accredited college in a technical field. The degree program builds on an occupational/technical program traditionally offered at community colleges, vocational and technical school, which serves as the major field of study. AAS degrees traditionally consist of coursework specific to occupational or technical fields that are not transferable into conventional academic baccalaureate degrees. Although, general education course work (core courses) can be applied to the core requirements.
