On behalf of the students, faculty, and staff of The University of Southern Mississippi College of Science and Technology, I welcome you to our Web site. Designed for professionals with a technical/occupational 2-year degree, the Applied Technology Bachelor's Degree fills that all-important educational gap.

LEADERSHIP: The undergraduate program in applied technology prepares professionals for leadership in businesses that are intensive in their use of information technology, complex production processes and/or highly skilled workforce.

INTEGRATION OF SKILLS: Professionals in this program integrate important skills in business, information technology, and production processes. By applying these to the development of a highly skilled workforce and the integration of new technologies in the workplace, graduates of the program are prepared to meet the challenges of the New Economy with an entrepreneurial spirit.

TRANSFER CREDIT: By allowing up to 36 hours of technical electives to be transferred, this program is especially attractive to the community college graduate who may or may not otherwise be able to use these technical electives toward obtaining a bachelor's degree.
