Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.)
Digital Publishing Concentration
The Digital Publishing concentration prepares graduates for lead technical and entry-level management positions in the printing and publishing industry. Prospective students with Associate of Applied Science degrees in the areas such as multimedia, printing, and publishing, commercial art, desktop publishing, or computer illustration may find that the Digital Publishing concentration provides excellent career opportunities.
The BAS is a 60-semester-hour program, divided into four segments:
- General Studies - 19 semester hours
In consultation with an advisor, students choose courses from the ASU General Studies list that contribute to a coherent overall curriculum that helps them meet their educational goals. General Studies include Numeracy, Lab Science, Literacy, Humanities, and Social and Behavioral Science courses, including history, culture, global awareness areas. All courses required by ASU must be upper division courses
- BAS Core - 15 semester hours
The BAS Core Curriculum focuses on management and organization, professional communication, statistical processes, and computer competencies. Students must take at least one three-semester hour course in each of these four general categories. The remaining three semester hours are devoted to a second course in one of the above areas.
- Concentration - 20 semester hours
Students devote at least 20 semester hours to the Digital Publishing concentration, either choosing from set curricula, or developing a custom curriculum with the help of their advisor. Assignable Credits may be used to enhance the area of concentration.
- Assignable Credits - six (6) semester hours
Assignable Credits allow space in the curriculum for prerequisite courses some students might need to succeed in the program. Assignable credits may be used to strengthen specific capabilities, to strengthen knowledge of core areas, or can be used as elective courses. The use of Assignable Credits is worked out between the student and their advisor.
