The international business BAS (IB BAS) degree is designed for students who desire to work in any company that does business with another country, as well as those who already work in the trade and logistics field. It is designed to leverage a student’s already existing business or logistics coursework and experience and add upper division courses that specifically prepare the student to work in an international arena. The IB BAS degree is an extension of the General Business Associate of Applied Science Transfer (AAS-T) degree and the Accounting Associate of Applied Science Transfer (AAS-T) degree. However students from several different business-related programs will be qualified to enter the baccalaureate degree program.
