Applied Technology Major, Bachelor of Science (BS)
This program is designed for students who have graduated with an associate degree in Applied Arts and Sciences (AAAS), Associate degree in Applied Science (AAS), Associate degree in Technical Arts (ATA) in computer technology, electronics technology, mechanical engineering technology, civil engineering technology, drafting/design technology and similarly named programs at community colleges. This degree allows these students to continue their education by taking liberal arts courses, additional advanced technology courses, and supporting courses to complete a Bachelor of Science Degree.
- Entrance into this program requires an AAS, AAAS, ATA, or similar degree in an approved area from an accredited two-year college. Applicants must have a GPA ≥2.5 for the Technology coursework in the AAS, AAAS, or ATA degree. Graduation requires maintaining an overall GPA ≥2.5 for this option.
- This program requires an average of 15–16 credits per quarter to complete in 2 years. The credits are based upon the following assumption: students will have satisfied university competencies. If this assumption is not true, then the student will have to complete up to six more credits of classes.
Grade Requirements: In order to graduate, students majoring in the department must earn an average GPA ≥2.5 in all courses required for this major (all courses in the list below).

Application for Graduation (use EagleNET) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term you expect to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the Catalog Archives to determine two important catalog years.
Degree Works calculates based on these two catalog years.
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Credit Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who successfully earn a BS in Applied Technology from EWU should be able to do the following:
- communicate effectively;
- develop a commitment to quality, timeliness and continuous improvement;
- develop a recognition of the need for, and the ability to engage in, lifelong learning;
- develop an ability to understand professional, ethical or social responsibilities;
- develop an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines;
- identify, analyze and solve technical and creative problems.
