As the Director of Concordia University’s BAAS degree in Applied Business, I love the variety of students who are attracted to this program. From cosmetologists to paralegals to physical therapy assistants, the BAAS degree gives students who have already completed their associate degree a chance to earn their bachelor’s degree without losing any ground. These students are already working in their respective fields and know that rounding out their education with business skills will boost their professional life.
