The Bachelor or Applied Arts & Sciences (BAAS) in Health Practice is a great way to earn your degree while you continue working. Since courses are not conducted in real-time like on-campus, in-classroom meetings, you have the flexibility to learn on your schedule.
Students may earn up to 12 hours through Credit by Prior Learning (CPL). CPL may be used to gain credit for required and/or elective courses in the major.
Internship placement can be with your current employer. Your 2, 12-credit hour internships can be completed by working on special projects for your employer.
