Baccalaureate Program Admission

Pensacola State College offers a Bachelor of Applied Science in Administration and Supervision. The BAS program has four areas of concentration: Graphic Design Management, Health Care Management, Organizational Administration, and Public Safety Management. The College also offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).

The BAS and BSN degrees are designed to provide a career ladder for those who have completed an associate degree and wish to continue their educations at the baccalaureate level.

An applicant for admission to the BAS program will be admitted with the following:

2. Submission of all college transcripts with documentation that the applicant has earned an associate degree or earned credit in no less than 60 semester hours from regionally accredited institutions.
3. Completion of entry-level placement testing unless the applicant’s transcript reflects grades of “C” or better in general education English or mathematics. Applicants whose test scores indicate the need for remediation (college preparatory/developmental placement) will not be admitted into the baccalaureate program or baccalaureate courses until the required college preparatory/developmental courses are satisfactorily completed.
