SIENA HEIGHTS UNIVERSITY
Bachelor of Applied Science
Classes that
work for you
The Bachelor of Applied Science Degree (BAS) is a career-oriented
degree designed for professionals with allied health or technical
training, Associate of Applied Science Degrees, or graduates of
two-year occupational programs. The BAS Degree is structured
on the “inverted major” concept which builds an individually
designed academic degree program around the allied health,
technical, or occupational “major” you have already completed.
For students that work, flexible
class times and formats are key
to making degree completion
work. Siena Heights has a flexible,
innovative approach to education
that offers traditional evening and
weekend classes as well as online
classes in blended and completely
online formats.
MICHIGAN’S PREMIERE APPLIED BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAM
Each BAS student develops a customized degree plan appropriate
to his or her education and future goals. Students receive no
additional training in the major from Siena Heights University,
instead they complete their bachelor’s degree by taking liberal
arts classes and other course work appropriate to their prior
learning and future goals.
The BAS is appropriate for majors in:
ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
For individuals in such fields as radiologic technology; radiation
or respiratory therapy; dental hygiene, massage therapy, nursing,
diagnostic medical sonography, EEG technology, nuclear
medicine, medical laboratory, and other allied health professions.
TRADE & INDUSTRIAL PROFESSIONS
For individuals in such fields as nuclear technology, architectural
technology, automotive technology, drafting design technology,
mechanical engineering technology, electronic engineering
technology, or electrical, industrial or manufacturing technology.
SPECIALIZED OCCUPATIONAL PROFESSIONS
For individuals in such fields as computer tech/info systems,
hospitality management, radio/television broadcasting, office
systems administration, or sign language interpreters.
PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONS
For individuals in such fields as public safety studies, fire science
technology, corrections/law enforcement, hazardous materials, or
homeland security.
An academic advisor will walk you
through your class schedule and
help determine which format will
fit your personality and lifestyle.
Then if life changes, don’t feel
that you are locked into any one
format. Our students often find
themselves switching between
all of the options that we offer
depending on the time of year.

“When a fellow firefighter mentioned that Siena offers
completely online learning and grants credit for prior work
experience/certifications I was hooked. I did my research on
other distance learning schools prior to enrolling at SHU. All the
other schools had something I did not like; mandatory in school
attendance dates, rushed classes, outrageous tuition. SHU was
the best total package that I could find.”
