Bachelor of Applied Technology in Industrial Management

The Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) program is designed to broaden your career opportunities and better your chances for promotion to supervisory positions. The program is designed to provide a career-ladder if you have already completed an associate degree and want to continue your education at the bachelor's level. The baccalaureate degree program is also an especially desirable goal if you are a beginning student interested in designing a study program as early as the freshman year.

The upper-division classes in the BAT program will expand your perspective of business operations. The coursework requires understanding different facets of enterprise operation, including accounting, legal issues, technology, and human resources. The final two semesters require you to synthesize and apply what you have learned to risk management and organizational issues in particular industries.
