Ohio University is pleased to provide community college students an opportunity to complete a bachelor's degree online or at a distance. 

Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies (BTAS)
Available through all community college partners starting Fall 2008

The BTAS is designed for students who have already completed an associate degree in a technical program (applied science or applied business degree) from an accredited community college, regional campus, or technical college, and who want to further their education by completing the requirements for a baccalaureate degree.

The program provides students with knowledge, skills, and values necessary for advancement in their chosen careers. Technical skills developed within applied associate degree programs are integrated with professional development in areas of communication, research, culture, politics and organizational leadership.

• The BTAS maximizes the transfer of previously earned credits.
• Structure of the degree is simple--it requires only three core courses and 10 additional courses selected from four areas of concentration.
• The degree helps qualify you for advancement in the workplace.
• The BTAS can be completed online.
