Program Description The BAS degree is an applied bachelor’s degree specifically designed to build on professional-technical associate’s degrees that provide workplace skills, such as the Associate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degree. The BAS degree differs from other bachelor degrees as it incorporates prior work experience and more hands-on learning. Graduates with a BAS degree may apply to related master's degree programs.
With a foundation in social justice, equity, and inclusion, the BAS in Child, Youth, and Family Studies (BAS-CYFS) degree provides advanced knowledge and skills for professional positions in early learning settings and social services programs for young children, youth, and families of diverse populations.
This interdisciplinary degree integrates Early Childhood Education, Human Services, Addiction Studies, and Family Support Studies as it emphasizes the whole family system and a holistic approach when working with children, youth, and families.
Acceptance into the Bachelor of Applied Science program is by application only and requires fulfilling admittance requirements with completion of an AAS-T degree in Early Childhood Education, Social and Human Services, Addiction Studies, or Family Support Studies, or equivalent. Students with an Associate of Technical of Arts (ATA) degree in one of these areas are encouraged to consult with an advisor regarding additional prerequisite course requirements to be completed before beginning the program.
This BAS degree is awarded upon completion of a minimum of 180 credits as outlined.
Advising Note This program requirement sheet is not a substitute for meeting with an academic advisor. Meeting the requirements to graduate with an Edmonds CC degree is ultimately the responsibility of the student.

BAS Degree General Description The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree is a 180 credit baccalaureate degree, specifically designed to build on professional-technical associate degrees that provide workplace skills, such as Associate of Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degrees. BAS degrees include a professional core of courses from the AAS-T degree, general education credits and upper division courses. BAS degrees are a pathway to the baccalaureate level with upper-division coursework in an applied field that provide expanded career opportunities for graduates and meet the needs of employers in the community. BAS degrees incorporate more applied, hands-on learning than a traditional bachelor’s degree and allow a student to advance their skills and abilities without requiring the student to follow the traditional direct transfer degree pathway. Graduates with a BAS degree may apply to related master’s degree programs. See a program advisor for details. Program of Study Outcomes Edmonds CC’s four General Education Outcomes (Communicate, Act Responsibly, Reason, and Explore) are promoted throughout the college’s programs.
