Hello,
I'm starting an accelerated AAS/BSAST program with an the AAS in Polysomnography and the BSAST in Health Services Tech. I'd like to earn a Master's degree at a respected B&M school. Can the BSAST be used to satisfy bachelor's degree entrance requirements for the Master's of Science degree?

Yes, or it depends.
Do you know what Masters you want to do or where? Have you checked the entry requirements?

What irnbru says.
A more immediate question: Are you sure you can get an accelerated AAS in Polysomnography from TESC starting right now? See the
July thread about TESC polysomnography programs where we looked around the edges. TESC didn't seem to offer all the required courses yet at that time, and I wouldn't be surprised if they couldn't be taken as transient student elsewhere. And have you made arrangements or are they coming along clearly enough to do the in-person, on-the-ground clinical training component, at Capital Health in New Jersey or at another AASM-accredited sleep center who will affiliate with TESC to supervise you?

I meant that both the AAS and BSAST will be completed in less than a year. A local clinical site will be arrange. Thanks for your concern.

I'll contact the schools directly. Hopefully as long as I fulfill the prereqs there won't be an issue.

I responded to this hours ago; hoped the moderators would've posted it by now. I was referring to completing both degrees in a little under a year. A local clinical site is being arranged. Courses are available online via TESC right now every other month and in the future hopefully every month or as needed. I never planned on testing out of any of the PSG courses as this is a career degree and I'm enrolled in the comprehensive plan.
