That right there is a significant difference. I think this was a great post to share as I had not seen the BAS mentioned before; and it it doesn't even show as an option on their site (https://online.umpi.edu/programs). Are the minors all the same options are their BLS listed?
I agree with bjcheung77 that if given a choice a 'Bachelor of Applied Science' (BAS) sounds/reads better than the 'Bachelor of Liberal Studies' (BLS) - but as stated that is just a matter of opinion. Thank you for sharing this, I know a few people that might be interested in this path towards a degree.
Technically the BAS is an on campus degree. It's not available in YourPace technically. Bachelor of Applied Science kind of sounds like a kicked up Associate of Applied Science. Liberal arts/studies goes pretty far in many careers. People know exactly what that is...applied science not as much. If one is planning on going to grad school it doesn't really matter what your undergrad is quite often.
