Our Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) program is a 2 + 2 model. This means the four
years required to complete the 180 credits are inclusive of the student's Associate
of Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degree.
Students who are working on their AAS-T degree have two entry points into the BAS
program. Both utilize the same application process, deadlines, and require the same
prerequisites to be completed. The difference is their time in the BAS program.
Option 1: Regular Admissions
Students on this pathway have completed the program prerequisites and all or most
of their AAS-T degree. These students enter the IHCM cohort the year that they apply.
For example, a student applying in 2025 would start the IHCM classes in Fall 2025.
They are on a 2-year pathway. A full-time schedule for that student would look similar
to the one below.

Option 2: Early Admissions
Students on this pathway have completed the program prerequisites and around half
of their AAS-T degree. These students enter the IHCM cohort the year after they apply.
For example, a student applying in 2025 would start the IHCM classes in Fall 2026.
This student would spend a year completing their AAS-T but know that their seat in
the IHCM cohort is already awarded. They are on a 3-year pathway.
For the purposes of this example, the student would be completing their Allied Health
Education (AHE) AAS-T. This plan would follow a year of the student working on the
Patient Care Technician courses. Note: Areas of specialization for the AHE AAS-T also include Clinical Lab Assistant,
Pharmacy Technician, Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, and Mental Health Technician.
Students who are completing their Addiction Studies AAS-T may also use this pathway.

who have a different background than one of our AAS-T programs, should speak with
the IHCM Program Manager to determine their individual pathway.
