If you have earned an Associate of Applied Science, an Intermediate Technical Certificate (ITC), an Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC) or other college credits, you can apply them to earn Boise State University’s online Bachelor of Applied Science.
Bachelor’s degree holders often go on to earn more money than associate degree holders or high school graduates and typically have lower rates of unemployment, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The high-quality, flexible interdisciplinary program gives you the opportunity to earn a degree that compliments your current or desired career goals. The program is also affordable because you pay in-state tuition regardless of where you live.
