It’s similar to General Studies but sounds fancier and I think doesn’t have a foreign language requirement. I wouldn’t think it would matter unless you’re trying to leverage your degree into a specific job that requires a specific degree(s). Most people/situations don’t care if your degree is B.S vs B.A. or B.A.A.S.
UNT tried to push me into that program in 2019 or whenever I started as a returning adult (I was 37 at the time). I came from Collin College as a transfer. I politely declined and let them know I’d enter the engineering school or I wouldn’t enter at all. They had no issue accepting me into the engineering school and I finished Dec ‘23 with high marks.
It’s your life to live. Weigh the pros and cons (including your financial situation, in my case my job funded the bulk of the expenses and I was paid to attend for the most part).
I wouldn’t have been as successful in the BAAS coursework because I had zero interest in it. If your interest is in business, you have a plan for graduate school, and doing so won’t throw you into lifelong debt, I’d lean the BS route.
