Palm Beach Community College offers the Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management with concentration areas in Business Administration, Health Administration, and Public Safety Administration. The Bachelor of Applied Science degree requires the transfer of 42 hours of A.S./A.A.S. degree credit hours. Additionally, the program includes 36 credit hours of general education, 21 credit hours of program core courses that all three concentration areas share, and 21 hours of concentration area courses with a capstone experience configured to reflect the student’s area of concentration. These courses total the 120 hours needed for baccalaureate degree completion.
The degree’s core courses provide the student with a broad applied background in finance, legal and ethical issues, management information systems, leadership, human resources and management. The concentration area courses offer specific coursework relevant to the specialty areas (Business Administration, Health Administration, and Public Safety Administration) with one elective course to further focus on the student’s interest area. The capstone course, taken in the final term, allows the student to apply all the skills and concepts acquired in the program.
