Seattle Colleges offers Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degrees designed to provide specialized, hands-on education focused on specific industries. These four-year programs build upon two-year technical degrees and aim to enhance career opportunities. They often incorporate applied learning, industry-focused training, and internship components, with potential for credit for prior learning and workplace experience.

The Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) in Accounting with International Accounting (AIA) program at North Seattle College prepares students for careers in accounting. It provides a strong foundation in accounting principles, including U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and auditing standards. The program also focuses on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), equipping graduates with skills relevant to global business and the Seattle area's international market. Graduates will gain practical skills such as workload organization, financial statement preparation, and the use of accounting software. The program is designed to help students meet the requirements for the Washington State CPA licensure. International students are eligible to apply, but should note that upper-division courses are online, requiring careful planning for any on-campus attendance needed for F-1 visa compliance.
