With appropriate and extensive advising, students will take a sequence of courses that will 1) meet Ohio University\\\'s general education and baccalaureate degree requirements, 2) follow naturally from and amplify the learning experiences in their associate degree subject areas, and 3) qualify them for advancement in their workplaces. Objectives The fundamental objective of the BTAS Degree Program is to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for advancement in their chosen careers and to integrate the technical skills developed within the associate degree with the professional skills, values, and dispositions of a baccalaureate degree . It is assumed that the students attracted to this program will be adult, place-bound graduates and future graduates of two-year degree programs. Students enrolled in applied technical programs typically do not complete a substantial block of course work that will allow a smooth transition into a baccalaureate program. The proposed program is intended to provide a means by which fully employed adults holding two-year technical degrees can complete a bachelor\\\'s degree program in the equivalent of two additional years of full-time study. Thus, such programs are often referred to as 2+2. The Appalachian region of Ohio, which comprises the major portion of the Ohio University regional campuses service areas, has a bachelor\\\'s degree attainment level of only 7.9%, well below Ohio as a state and only about half that of the nation as a whole. The proposed BTAS will offer associate degree graduates from this region an opportunity to continue their education . View more details on Ohio University - Eastern Campus .
