History is in the making at Texas Southmost College (TSC). The Brownsville, Texas-based junior college is offering its first bachelor’s degree program.
The Bachelor of Applied Technology in Organizational Management will prepare students for careers in numerous pathways.
“The program prepares our students to go into a variety of sectors, government, non-profit, education,” said Dr. Patricia M. Blanco, the program’s coordinator at an event held at the ITEC Center to celebrate the establishment of the program. “It gives them the tools that they need also, not only to take the next step in their career, but to also pursue a master’s degree, if they’re interested in doing so.”
Coursework for the new bachelor’s programs is offered year-round in traditional, hybrid and online formats.
“It is very much geared to the working adult, but traditional students fit in seamlessly because of the different offerings we have,” Blanco said. “So yes, a working adult that is taking care of juggling family, and working and all of that, can still work toward their educational goals to so they are able to advance in their careers.”
Students with an associate’s degree can enroll in the program.
“It is affordable, and we pride ourselves on that,” Blanco added. “Students will be paying the same amount they will for an associate’s degree. So, we definitely have our competitors beat by a landslide, as far as low cost.”
Students seeking more information about the Bachelor of Applied Technology in Organizational Management can visit the program’s office at the ITEC Center Suite 102 or log on to TSC.edu/batom.
