Questions? We've got answers.

Do I need 60 credit hours to apply?

The program is designed to support a student towards their degree completion once they have 60 credits. This could be a combination of transcripted academic credit from other accredited insitutions, technical credit from community colleges and vocational schools, military equivalent credit, or validated professional learning and experiences. By speaking with an advisor, you'll be able to determine how many credits will be appliable to the degree. 

How much will the program cost me?

The cost is dependent on how many credits you will need to complete at UNT to fullfill the degree requirements, however the cost is a flat rate of $330 per credit hour. That means for every credit hour you need, you can easily predict how much it will cost, prior to any applicable financial aid. For example, if you have 90 credit hours, your cost would likely be as low as $9,900, prior to applicable financial aid). If you have 60 credit hours, your cost would likely be as low as $19,800, prior to financial aid.

You will also have free access to industry certificates that can count toward your credit hours, so you can potentially save even more. 

How long will it take?
Based on how many credit hours you need to fullfill the degree requirements, it could take you as little as 12 months (if leveraging 90 credits and taking 30 hours over 2-3 semesters). If you have 60 credit hours left to complete, you could feasible complete the program in as little as 18-24 months. 
What if I have military or technical credits?
Then this program is a great fit for you. The B.A.A.S. is rare as it accepts and recognizes technical and prior learning credit. Speak with an advisor to learn more about what your experience can be applied towards.

Helping Students Succeed

“The Google IT certificate was a perfect start for me with a non-computer science background to get started with a computer science career. It really allows me to get a grasp on the fundamentals of the world of technology. I joined the BAAS program because of its flexibility and online presence. It allowed me to be able to complete everything without having to be in one place, because I was planning on moving around and I wanted to complete my degree. I really enjoyed taking the Google IT courses alongside the management courses in the BAAS program because I want to eventually become a project manager for digital innovation projects.”

“I got my Google IT certification through the Coursera program and I just love the format. The platform is very simple, easy to use, and intuitive. I’ve had the freedom to work on my own schedule. The certificate has given me the tools to unlock a future in IT. And the BAAS helps you grow into your career by allowing you to design your degree with different concentrations. That was really helpful, especially for what I want to do. It allowed me to mix and match what I think would be the best degree for me."
