2024-2025 Undergraduate & Graduate Catalog
Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Project Management
Admission Requirements
To be admitted, students need to meet Grand Valley State University's minimum requirements for transfer student admissions and have completed or be in the last semester of an associate of applied science degree, associate of general studies, an associate of applied arts and science degree, an associate in business degree, or similar technical applied degrees. Contact us to learn if the Bachelor of Applied Science could be the right degree for you.
- If your associate degree is still in progress, we encourage you to apply and meet with an advisor to discuss your transfer plan.
- If you do not have an applied degree, but possess an associate degree, our online accelerated degree completion program is a great alternative that can help you get to where you want to be. Visit our LEADS page for details.
Degree Requirements (B.A.S.)
Students in the Technology Project Management program at Grand Valley State University must follow all general education requirements (gvsu.edu/gened/requirements-handbook-269.htm) as defined in the Grand Valley State University Undergraduate Catalog and complete a minimum 120 credits total toward their degree. This could include credits transferred in from their Associate of Applied Science degree or other prior coursework at an accredited institution. An additional 24 credits earned through prior learning assessment (PLA) could also be applied to their degree. Due to transfer and experiential credit differences between students, the time to graduation will be unique for each student. Students are required to earn their final 30 credits at Grand Valley State University. This program requires 40 credits from a four-year institution, which exempts students from the university's 58 credits from a four-year institution rule. All other relevant policies apply.
