PROGRAM DEFINITION
The Bachelor of Science in Applied Science degree program will prepare students for occupations that involve the application of science in society.  The goal is to provide an integrated understanding of how basic and applied science benefit and impact us, from the individual to the biosphere. The program is also available as an online degree completion option.

NEBRASKA POINTS OF DISTINCTION
