Overview

About Applied Studies at The University of Iowa

The degree may be completed completely online or through a combination of on-site and online coursework. Students may earn credit toward the degree with a selection of several types of courses, including semester-based online courses, on-site courses at off-campus locations throughout Iowa, and regular session on-campus courses.

The B.A.S. is a general undergraduate degree without a traditional academic major. Students can design an individual program or select from four optional emphasis areas: creative writing, human relations, justice studies, and political science. B.A.S. students may complete multiple emphasis areas and earn undergraduate certificates offered by the University of Iowa. They may not earn minors or enroll in a second college at the University of Iowa while completing the B.A.S. degree.
