Technology changes fast and it's not going to slow down
Technology touches all aspects of our lives -- from robotics, to artificial intelligence (AI), to virtual reality, and the Internet of Things. The BAS in OL+RC prepares students for this changing world by teaching adaptability, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in conjunction with strong leadership and business knowledge.
Today's employers expect their staff to be tech savvy, but they also want 'human skills.' According to Forbes Magazine, people who possess creativity, emotional intelligence (EQ), critical thinking, adaptability, written and verbal communication skills, and leadership skills are at the top of employer 'wish lists.' (Marr, 2019) The BAS in OL+RC prepares students with exactly these skills.
Whether your goal is to start your own business, to lead at the corporate level, to create change through a non-profit, or further your career in the military, the BAS OL+RC program will help you get there.
