Credit for Prior Learning

We offer a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences (BAAS) in order to provide students with vocational, technical, and military training or coursework the opportunity to apply those credits towards their EMA degree. All EMA applicants must have at least 3 BAAS credits, and admitted students may receive up to 42 hours of BAAS credits for prior coursework and training. BAAS credits allow our students to complete the degree program in a shorter period of time.
