Creating a 2+2 information technology degree program: the bachelor of applied science in information technology

ABSTRACT

One of the tasks that most universities face is the problem of transfer credits for students coming from other schools. This is particularly problematic with students who attend accredited two year technical schools and receive an AAS or AAT degree. Our university has just completed an articulation agreement with technical two year colleges who offer AAS and AAT degrees. This paper will examine one of the 2+2 programs in the articulation - the BASIT (Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Technology).
