Applied associate’s degree holders in career preparatory, vocational, and technical programs have found it increasingly necessary to earn a bachelor’s degree in order to improve their career prospects, move into management positions, or start businesses of their own. Currently, few colleges offer undergraduate degree programs that accept credits acquired by AAS degree holders.
The Bachelor of Professional Studies in Applied Management and Entrepreneurship online degree program provides applied associate’s degree holders with a pathway to earn a bachelor’s degree while preparing them with the business insight to complement the technical skills and knowledge obtained from their AAS and professional experiences.
Additionally, the CUNY School of Professional Studies gives AAS degree holders the opportunity to transfer and apply up to 45 of their technical and professional course credits toward the BPS in Applied Management and Entrepreneurship, which reduces students’ time and cost of earning a bachelor’s degree.
Career Prospects
The BPS in Applied Management and Entrepreneurship online degree program prepares students for managerial or supervisory positions within their areas of expertise in a wide variety of fields such as information systems, accounting, engineering, tourism, healthcare, human services, graphic design, which benefit from knowledge and skills sets provided by a business education.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are currently more than 2.4 million jobs for general and operations managers, who plan, direct or coordinate operations in public or private sector organizations.
Students of the program can also elect to specialize in entrepreneurship, paving the way for them to identify and conceptualize unique business ideas for an organization or their own enterprises.
Articulation Agreements
Articulation agreements are formal agreements between CUNY School of Professional Studies, (CUNY SPS) and two-year colleges and universities, allowing students to transfer the maximum number of credits with ease to our BPS program from institutions with which we have an established transfer process in place.
