Students who have completed an Associate of Applied Science degree in a technical field from one of South Dakota’s four technical institutes or an out of state technical institute and have discovered that a bachelor’s degree would help advance in their career, achieve higher job satisfaction, and earn a higher salary, will want to look into this degree. The Bachelor of Applied Technical Science degree will provide students with a broad general education, in addition to technical support courses and managerial training. This degree can assist technicians to advance into management positions by providing them with a solid educational foundation. Students will learn about business management, communication, and marketing, while advancing their technical skills even further.
Five specializations are available in this program: Applied Agriculture, General Technology, Industrial Sales, Industrial Supervision, and General Supervision. The BATS degree in the General Supervision specialization is also available in Sioux Falls at the University Center.
