The Bachelor of Science in Applied Technology: The Business Degree for the Digital Age
CalSouthern's Bachelor of Science in Applied Technology is an ideal business degree in an era where technology is constantly and rapidly evolving—and increasingly central to any organization's success. No business can afford to confine its applied technology expertise to the IT department; a comprehensive understanding of applied technology is now table stakes for management across a company's operations.
Unlike other technology degree programs, the Bachelor of Science in Applied Technology degree offered by CalSouthern combines advanced technology courses—in subject such as e-commerce, systems analysis, information security, and emerging technologies—with the core business, marketing, and management courses that are essential to any well-rounded business degree. In addition, you can choose from a variety of constantly updated, currently relevant electives in topic areas such as entrepreneurship, international business, accounting, or leadership, among others.
CalSouthern's Bachelor of Science in Applied Technology degree program is perfectly suited for students who have taken technology courses at the community or technical college level, and are looking to progress in their studies toward a baccalaureate degree, while developing a well-rounded and robust business background. However, while it is a terrific degree-completion program for students who have completed all or part of an associate degree in a technology-related field, a technology background is not required.
CalSouthern's applied technology degree can be earned 100-percent online which—combined with convenient monthly course starts and eight-week terms—permits working students to study on their own time, without compromising their professional or personal lives, all while progressing quickly toward their degree.
Founded in 1978, CalSouthern adheres to the highest academic, professional, and ethical standards. Courses are taught by gifted instructors who are also business leaders in their fields of expertise. They'll teach you to apply the latest, vetted academic theory to current and critical real-world business scenarios. Most important, they—together with the deans and the rest of the CalSouthern staff—stand ready to provide you with all the personalized attention, guidance, and support you need to achieve your educational and career goals.
