Project Management, BA, BAS

Program Description

The Associate of Arts (AA) degree is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the AA may select courses that satisfy both the AA degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the AA allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The AA degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses.

KU Edwards offers two degree options for Project Management. Both degrees are online and may be started in any term including summer.

• The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Project Management
• The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Project Management

As you complete your project management bachelor’s degree online with KU, you will be able to partner the project management foundation courses with additional emphasis area courses to tailor your education to your desired career path. Some majors at JCCC pair well with the required emphasis, such as business, healthcare, sciences, computer-related areas including design, architecture, web-design, and marketing. For guidance and approval of emphasis area courses, please speak with the Academic Success Coach at KU Edwards Campus.
