Degree Requirements
BAS students must fulfill all requirements for bachelor’s degrees including university general education requirements , to include 45 credits of upper-level course work. All university general education requirements must be met with either George Mason courses or transferrable equivalents.
The minimum credit requirement for a bachelor’s degree is 120 credits; however, while there is some variation between concentration areas, fulfilling all university requirements for general education and an academic concentration or specialization is likely to require most BAS students to complete at least 63-66 credits at George Mason, with a total of at least 123 credits in order to receive the degree.
Admitted BAS students will be academically advised by the BAS Program Advisor to plan their course of study including completion of university general education, the BAS concentration or specialization, and any remaining requirements. See bas.gmu.edu for more information.
The following degree plan is based on a student who transfers in a minimum of 30 credits from a completed AAS degree. Some of these credits may count only towards the elective requirement within the BAS degree.
