University of Wisconsin System & UW Extension:
The UW System Board of Regents has approved the request by UW Colleges to implement a bachelor of applied arts and sciences (B.A.A.S.) degree that will serve place-bound adults in six Wisconsin communities. The Regents also approved a mission change for UW Colleges related to the B.A.A.S. degree.
The degree still requires accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, curriculum development by UW Colleges faculty, policy development by the UW Colleges Senate and other administrative requirements.
