Bachelor of Applied Science in Food Service Management

• The B.A.S. degree with a concentration in Food Service Management is a flexible degree plan designed to complement and enhance the educational preparation of students holding an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree from a community college.  It is  particularly aimed at those students with a specialty in culinary or hospitality science. The degree prepares students for careers in food production, service, management and marketing. With additional education and/or professional training, students also may become credentialed as certified dietary managers, school food service and nutrition specialists, or registered sanitarians.

  Admission to the B.A.S. degree program is open to students holding an A.A.S. degree from a regionally-accredited U.S. post-secondary educational institution. A GPA of 2.00 or higher is required for all resident applicants and a 2.50 is required for nonresident applicants. The B.A.S. degree consists of 60 semester hours of upper-division (300 level and above) courses (60 hours are accepted as a block transfer from the previous A.A.S. degree). A total of 120 semester hours are required for graduation.

  The BAS is a "capstone" or "inverted transfer" degree for the AAS. In completing the BAS you will complete all ASU graduation requirements. The goal of the program is to provide you with management, leadership, critical thinking, and communication skills—along with significant work in a professional specialization—that will broaden your career horizons, promote life-long learning, and enrich your personal and civic life.
