Clayton State University | Home | Top | Table of Contents
The Bachelor of Applied Science degree (B.A.S.) offers career advancement opportunities to people who have earned the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), the Associate of Applied Technology (A.A.T.), or other career associate degrees. Students who have earned career associate degrees at Clayton State University or at other regionally accredited institutions can bridge smoothly into the B.A.S. program with little or no loss of credit. To complete the B.A.S. at Clayton State, students will take additional general education classes and advanced courses appropriate to their fields and career interests. The B.A.S. can be earned in four semesters of full-time study, or students can attend part-time. Many courses will be offered by distance learning.
The B.A.S. courses prepare graduates to move into supervisory positions in businesses, retail environments, plants, shops and institutional settings. Courses in management, marketing, and accounting help students blend their specific expertise with new managerial skills. The curriculum, which includes experimental learning opportunities, covers vital topics such as management, marketing, personnel relations, professionalism, and quality control.
ADMISSION TO B. A. S. PROGRAMS
Students who wish to pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science with a major in Technology Management or Administrative Management must be admitted to Clayton State University, declare a major, and hold an appropriate career associate degree (e.g., A.A.S., or A.A.T.) from an institution regionally accredited to grant associate degrees.
Career associate degrees, sometimes called applied degrees, are designed to prepare the graduate for immediate employment in the field of the degree. The B.A.S. is not appropriate for students who hold associate degrees (usually A.A. or A. S.) that are designed to constitute the first two years of a B.A., B.M., B.S., or B.B.A. degree. A student who wishes to pursue the B.A.S. but who has not yet completed a career associate degree must finish the associate degree at Clayton State University or another institution before applying for entry to a B.A.S. major.
Students entering a B.A.S. major will take benchmark assessments to determine their readiness for upper division work in writing and other areas. Depending on the results of these assessments, students may be recommended or required to undertake work to improve their performance. Normally the assessments will be administered in TECH 3111 or OFFC 3111.
NOTE: B.A.S. students are not subject to the requirements of the College Preparatory Curriculum but are subject to the Regents’ Test. See the Graduation Requirements chapter of this catalog.

NOTES ON AREAS A-E
Career associate degrees usually include 12-21 semester credit hours of general education work that is equivalent to Areas A-E courses in the Core Curriculum of the University System of Georgia. (Some career programs, especially those at University System two-year colleges, contain more than 21 such hours.) Clayton State University will accept Areas A-E equivalent hours from transferring students and apply them to the B.A.S. according to University System guidelines even if the courses do not match those in the Clayton State University core for native students. A typical B.A.S. student transferring to Clayton State will take 12-21 hours of general education at the associate-degree-granting institution and an additional 21-30 hours at Clayton State University. Additionally, transfer of Area A-E is subject to the following conditions:
a. After hours from the career associate degree and other previous college-level work are applied to Areas A-E, B.A.S. students will be expected to complete all remaining elements of Areas A-E in order to total 42 semester credit hours. The 42 hours must include two English composition courses, Mathematics Modeling (or higher), and a seven- or eight-hour science sequence. Once a student has been admitted to Clayton State University, hours taken to complete the Core must be in accordance with the Clayton State University Core Curriculum.
b. Courses that are not core-curriculum equivalent (e.g., Citizenship, Business English, and math lower than Mathematical Modeling or College Algebra) will NOT count toward Areas A-E.
c. In some cases, courses transferred are eligible for inclusion either in the block of career courses for the associate degree or in Areas A-E of the Core Curriculum. When a student is admitted to the B.A.S. program, the courses are applied as is most appropriate to his or her program of study. Students should be aware that a course cannot be counted in two places (e.g., Introduction to General Psychology might be eligible in either Area E or the career block, but it can be counted in only one place.)
d. Students who do not fulfill the legislative requirement for the study of Georgia and U. S. history and constitution by courses in Area C must meet the requirement by examination or other course work.
e. Transfer students may be required to provide official course descriptions or other documentation of course content to facilitate determination of equivalency.
NOTES ON BLOCK CREDIT FOR CAREER COURSES
Typically, career associate degrees include approximately 35-45 semester credit hours (or equivalent) of career-related courses in addition to general education (Areas A-E). Clayton State University will award up to 38 hours of transfer credit for the career block subject to the following considerations:
a. Students whose career associate degrees include fewer than 38 hours of program-specific courses will need to make up the difference with additional program-related lower division courses at Clayton State University. (A maximum of 38 hours will be applied to the career block regardless of the number of hours actually taken.)
b. English courses lower than Business English and mathematics courses lower than Applied Technical Math (or equivalent) will not count in the 38-hour career core.
c. Sometimes the block of career courses includes courses that are also eligible to count in Areas A-E. Students should be aware that such courses cannot be counted in two places, so if a course originally taken for the career block is applied to Areas A-E, then the student may be required to take additional career block work to equal 38. (See item c. in Notes on Areas A-E.)
d. For transfer students, portions of the career block may be entered on the transcript as a block rather than on a course-by-course basis.
e. Transfer students may be required to provide official course descriptions or other documentation of course content to facilitate determination of equivalency.
MAJOR IN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
The Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Management provides career advancement opportunities for individuals employed (or seeking employment) in a wide variety of plant, shop, and industrial settings. Like all B.A.S. programs, the Technology Management major builds upon the technical education acquired through an associate degree in a career field. For the Technology Management major, the associate degree should be in a technical or production field, such as electronics, drafting, aviation maintenance, or railroad operations.

Programs in Aviation Maintenance Technology
The associate degree and certificate programs in this field are administered by the department of Aviation Maintenance Technology, which is located at the satellite campus on Tara Boulevard in Jonesboro. For additional information, contact:
Jack Moore, Department Head
Clayton State University
Aviation Maintenance Technology Facility
Jonesboro, GA 30236
770-961-3569
Full-time Faculty: Moore, Haught, Radford, Woodie.
Clayton State University offers two distinct types of Aviation Maintenance Technology degree programs for individuals who wish to prepare for the FAA Airframe and/or Powerplant (A & P) rating examinations and pursue degree programs which require that knowledge and skill. In addition, the department offers certificates in powerplant and airframe which allow students to be prepared for employment more quickly.
Associate degree graduates of the AVMT program are eligible to enter the B.A.S. program in Technology Management at Clayton State University. Contact the department head for information about aviation-related baccalaureate institutions.
Associate Degrees in Aviation Maintenance Technology
AVIATION MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY
Associate of Applied Science
EMPHASIS: FAA Part 147
This program, which is designed to prepare students for a career in aerospace vehicle maintenance, presents a carefully selected blend of theory and practical applications. After successfully completing the required courses for either the airframe or the powerplant rating, a student must score a minimum of 80% on an exit assessment administered by the Department of Aviation Maintenance Technology. A graduate of the program may make application to take the Federal Aviation Administration’s computer, oral and practical test battery for certification as an aircraft technician. Successful completion of all the required tests results in the issuance of an FAA Technician Certificate with the airframe and/or powerplant rating, as appropriate.
A candidate for acceptance into the program should have a strong math/science background, specifically in algebra; academic ability as measured by the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or American College Testing Program (ACT), if required; and mechanical aptitude. The Aviation Maintenance Program has a limited enrollment, and students are selected on the basis of SAT and ACT scores, college course grades, high school course grades, relevant work experience, and other qualifications relating to academic and professional potential. Interviews may be required.
There is no provision for absence in any of the Aviation Maintenance Technology courses. Eligibility for FAA testing is contingent upon completion of the entire 1900 clock hours of scheduled instruction, and absence for any reason may result in the student being dropped from the course. In bonafide emergencies, (death in family or personal illness) the instruction missed may, at the discretion of the faculty member, be made up. Make-up work is scheduled at the convenience of the instructor and should be coordinated in advance when an absence is anticipated.
Students may receive advanced-standing credit for previous AVMT course work only if they were enrolled at an FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School that holds regional accreditation status. In addition, this credit is granted only if a transcript is provided at the time of enrollment and only if that credit was earned during Clayton State University’s most recent academic year. All other applications for transfer or advanced-standing credit may require a competency test, including practical skill demonstration, and may require a fee.

EMPHASIS: FAA Part 65 Program
This program offers special Aviation Maintenance courses to students who are experienced but unlicensed aircraft maintenance specialists. These are broad-based courses which deal primarily with the theory and concepts of airframe and powerplant maintenance and the general practices, problems, and special considerations involved in maintaining aircraft in an airworthy condition under the privileges of the FAA Technician’s Certificate.
To be eligible for enrollment in this program, students must meet the eligibility requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation 65, subpart D, paragraphs 65.71 and 65.77. Upon completing the FAA test battery and attaining certification, students may apply course work to the Part 65 degree program requirements.
This program is NOT approved by the FAA nor is it approved by the UAA (University Aviation Association). The AVMT courses in the Other Program Requirements section of this program do not normally transfer to baccalaureate programs in the University System of Georgia. Students enrolling in this program should check with the institution where they intend to complete their baccalaureate degree to verify transferability.
