The Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree completion program offers a bachelor’s degree that can be earned right here at UW-Baraboo/Sauk County in collaboration with UW-La Crosse. The degree is conferred by UW Colleges. Classes are taught by faculty from UW-Baraboo/Sauk County and UW-La Crosse.

The BAAS degree includes a strong component of community involvement and practical experience and is heavily weighted toward the skills that employers have told us they want:

• good reading and writing skills
• the ability to work in teams
• good math skills
• the ability to assimilate information and solve complex problems
• awareness of global issues and cultures

The BAAS degree has several innovative features:

• a professional experience component that includes internships and service-learning
• a year-long senior capstone seminar allowing you to focus on an individualized research project
• credit for prior learning if you can show that you have knowledge equivalent to a university-level course required for the BAAS degree
• flexible course delivery, including online classes, accelerated short-course formats, and evening or weekend courses

To enroll, you must have an Associate of Arts and Science degree from UW-Baraboo/Sauk County or an equivalent liberal arts associate degree. To find out if the BAAS is right for you, please contact a student affairs advisor:
