The Bachelor of Applied Science in Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies degree with an emphasis in Child Development is offered under the administrative oversight of the Department of Education. This degree is intended to accommodate those who are seeking a baccalaureate degree for the purpose of obtaining positions in fields that require degrees in child development, but do not necessitate teacher certification. This is a non-certification degree in that successful completion of this program does not enable the graduate to apply for certification through the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) with an emphasis in Child Development includes the core curriculum and lower-level basic courses attained for the associate’s degree from Southwest Texas Junior College. Additional courses from SWTJC and Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College are required to complete the degree.
