Organizational Management, Baccalaureate

BAS-OM

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Management (BAS-OM) program at Grays Harbor College is designed to enable applicants with AAS, AAS-T, and AT degrees to combine their lower-division technical preparation with upper-division credits in organizational management, resulting in a practical, application-oriented, four-year degree. Students who have earned more traditional academic transfer degrees are also encouraged to apply. The Grays Harbor College Bachelor degree is designed with academic rigor, enabling graduates to apply directly to Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Public Administration (MPA), as well as other graduate programs.

The BAS-OM degree aims to move current workers from entry-level positions to management/supervision, and to be a stepping-stone to leadership within the community.
