The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Engineering and Applied Science is designed for undergraduates who seek interdisciplinary training by combining engineering with other interests. Unlike the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE), the BAS is less math-intensive and is not intended for those seeking to become professional engineers. Instead, students pursue customized tracks such as Computer Science, Computational Biology, or Computer and Cognitive Science, often creating an education that fits their career aspirations in technology, science, business, or policy. The curriculum emphasizes theoretical knowledge, interdisciplinary electives, and hands-on research, providing flexibility to include courses from across Penn’s schools. BAS graduates are equipped to work at the intersection of technology and other disciplines, and are well-prepared for careers or further studies in varied fields.
