During CTE 3313E students will identify the classes to be used for the professional development and may
choose one of the following modules OR customize their own with the assistance of an OWLS advisor. Classes
must be selected from three academic departments (ex: CTE, PSY, SOCI, etc.) since the BAAS is
interdisciplinary and individualized. Please review catalog course descriptions, delivery systems, class
schedules, and prerequisites (if required) before making the selection. These modules do not appear as a

toward the degree, does not render persons eligible to sit for licensing exams in counseling fields upon completion. Those fields
require separate credentials and each has its own set of criteria and licensing board. The courses below would simply provide a
general background of knowledge found to be helpful or useful to persons who plan to pursue further education in the helping
professions upon graduation from the BAAS.
