Which Degree is right for you?

The program you choose is based on the courses you have already taken-whether the traditional core curriculum or the career route from a technical college. Clarification of Integrative Studies and Bachelor of Applied Science degree are below:
Integrative Studies
Program Description
The Integrative studies program allows students to create an individualized curriculum composed of courses and experiences which meet their individual career needs. This approach is different from many traditional, discipline-based baccalaureate programs which are designed in part to prepare students for advanced work in a specific academic discipline--a major in history or biology, for example. This flexibility enables students to develop academic plans that meet the ever-changing requirements of the world of work, but it also requires careful planning. Students should clarify their career or learning goals as they begin designing the components of their program. The bachelor’s degree in Integrative Studies can also be an appropriate preparation for students planning to attend graduate school in certain disciplines and professions. Students may earn either a baccalaureate degree by completing a planned program of 120 semester credit hours or an associate's degree with a major in Integrative Studies upon the completion of Areas A-F of the Core Curriculum.
Target Audience
While this degree program is open to all qualified students, it has been designed principally to meet the higher education needs of the following two specific groups of students:
- Non-traditional students who are already in the workplace but need a baccalaureate degree to advance in their current career. Consultation with employers or supervisors will help students identify career needs which will form the basis for the design of an individualized curriculum; and
- Traditional students with clear academic or career goals who are open to and interested in novel ways of organizing an undergraduate experience which draws on the multiple resources of current distance learning opportunities, courses available through other institutions within the Atlanta Regional Consortium of Higher Education (ARCHE), and opportunities for internships and work/study experiences available in the larger community.
See Integrative Studies Homepage for further details
Bachelor of Applied Science
Program Description
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 in a partial online or 100% online format.
The majors in the B.A.S. program prepare graduates to move into supervisory positions in corporate settings, retail environments, plants, shops and other businesses. Course samplings include Supervision for the Workplace, Quality Issues in Technology, Ethics for Managers, Commerce for Technology, Financial & Managerial Decisions, Legal Issues, and others.

Financial Aid
ICAPP Grant/Service Cancelable Loans
An ICAPP student may apply for an ICAPP service cancelable loan to help pay for expenses (tuition, books and living expenses) while participating in the ICAPP program. The loan amount depends on the salary that the employer commits to pay the ICAPP graduate.
- A $7,500 loan may be available for positions paying less than $50,000 annually, and
- A $10,000 loan may be available for positions paying $50,000 or more each year.
ICAPP service cancelable loans are based on availability of funds. Students will learn more about ICAPP loans after acceptance into the program.
The Georgia Student Finance Commission administers the service cancelable loan. The student signs a promissory note and is legally responsible to cancel the debt, either through repayment or approved employment. At the end of each year that an ICAPP student works with the ICAPP company, (or the same field of work for another company in Georgia) $2,500 of the student’s debt is canceled.
The HOPE scholarship or grant may pay for some of the student’s expenses if the student meets HOPE’s requirements.
