Accelerated Bachelor of Applied Management
Want to get ahead—fast?
Ranken is introducing a new three year program to provide students with more educational options. Ranken’s Bachelor of Science in Applied Management (BSAM) degree is geared toward technical students who wish to advance in their chosen technical career. Ranken provides three BSAM track options: Management, Management Information Systems (MIS) and Marketing.
The accelerated program offers a unique educational blend, designed to transform highly-skilled technicians into successful managers. The current BSAM program has been successfully offered as an evening program, typically taken after an associate degree has been acquired. Now, it can be taken as an intensive three year program, allowing graduates to get into the field and advance in their careers quickly!
Students begin their two year technical program and as they complete their general education classes, they can start taking management courses immediately. This, enables students to complete both their associate and bachelor’s degrees in three short years.
