Associate in Applied Science Degrees

This is a 2 year program (full-time) designed to prepare the student for employment. A fewer number of classes in English and Math are required, depending on the program.

Certificate

A certificate program requires 1 to 4 semesters of course work which prepares the student for a specific academic or vocational career. Classes are taken only in the student's chosen career area.

Transfer Degree Options

Associate Degree in Arts (A.A.) and Associate Degree in Sciences (A.S.)
Designed for a student who plans to transfer to a 4 year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree. An associate degree requires 2 years (full-time) of general education courses. This would be 64 hours of credit in a variety of general education courses which include English, Math, Science and History.

Associate Degree in Engineering Science (A.E.S.)
Designed to prepare the student to transfer directly into an engineering program at the senior universities. Because each 4 year university has its own unique set of requirements students are urged to see a counselor to determine the curriculum required for transfer.

Associate Degree in General Studies (A.G.S.)
Consists of 64 semester hours in any combination of either transfer or career courses. This degree is not normally considered to be a transfer program.
