Admissions

The Bachelor’s in Software Development is a selective admissions program in which qualified students may be admitted in Fall and Winter quarters. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission as the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of available seats in the program. It is strongly encouraged that students meet with the program manager prior to filling out the BAS application to make sure they qualify. Schedule an appointment today to see if you are ready to apply.
