The Austin Peay Center
@ Fort Campbell offers the bachelor of professional studies
degree (BSPS). This degree is intended for students who have
completed associate of applied science (AAS) degrees either
at community colleges or technical schools, and who desire
to enhance their knowledge, analytical abilities and
critical thinking skills for upward mobility in their field.
The BSPS is not a degree in business. The program is to
provide a seamless transition from technical fields to an
appropriate baccalaureate program while enhancing the
liberal arts component of the student's education.
Students entering this program must meet the
standard admission requirements of Austin Peay State
University. The program is an inverted 2+2 program in which
the student takes the first two years of coursework at a
community college or technical school in an associate of
applied science program, and completes the junior and senior
years at APSU. Because the program is designed to admit
students from a wide variety of AAS programs, the curriculum
is diverse and varied. Each student must complete a
"contract" specifying a program of study listing required
courses and prerequisites. BSPS graduates must complete the
TBR core requirements and have 39
hours of upper division credits.
