Aaron Lauritzen

“One of the reasons I chose the Bachelor of Applied Science is because I am a creative person. I didn’t want to go the graphic designer or artist route, but I wanted practical, creative skills. I’ve always loved creating and learning. It worked out that I got my business classes and my marketing classes — the creative classes — with the Bachelor of Applied Science.”

- Aaron Lauritzen

Air Force Master Sergeant Douglas Fellows

“I didn’t want to start over. I talked with (student success coach) Scott Erickson and asked him what higher education I could pursue with the Bachelor of Applied Science. He told me I could get pretty much any master’s degree I would like. That’s when I decided to go back to school.”

- Zoom Nguyen

Laura Shoemaker
