Peninsula College BAS Program Awarded $1000 Grant

 Port Angeles, Washington (October 26, 2009) ----Key Bank Foundation has awarded a $1000 grant to the Peninsula College Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) program. The grant is intended for use by the College for the BAS program and may include program improvement and student scholarships. Key Bank recognized Peninsula College Foundation for its efforts to “serve the public interest and address critical needs within the community.”

The grant was presented to College President Tom Keegan and Mary Hunchberger, Executive Director of College Advancement by Steven Maxwell, new President of Key Bank and Julie Hatch, Manager of the Key Bank Port Angeles branch.

 The Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management (BAS) program at Peninsula College is designed to enable applicants with AAS, AAS-T, AA, and AS degrees to combine their lower-division technical or transfer preparation, regardless of the discipline, with upper-division credits in business management, resulting in a practical, application-oriented, four-year degree.

The BAS Program has been developed to meet the employment needs of the Olympic Peninsula and to prepare its graduates for entry-level management positions and career advancement in the wide range of fields found on the Peninsula and elsewhere.

The BAS program seeks a diverse group of applicants. In order to meet the needs of working adults, classes meet evenings.  All in-class instruction occurs on Peninsula College's Port Angeles campus. A portion of the course work is completed online.

In addition to meeting the employment needs of the Olympic Peninsula, the Peninsula College BAS degree is designed with academic rigor enabling graduates to apply directly to the University of Washington, Washington State, and other university MBA programs.
