Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Technical Studies

Overview

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Technical Studies is designed to meet dual purposes. First, it will offer students the opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Applied Science degree at CWC, or pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science offered at four-year institutions. Second, the degree will allow students to combine two disciplines in order to be more competitive in the job market and meet the requirements of employers.

The general education requirements are designed to encourage students to develop civic awareness and engagement, communication, critical thinking, personal and professional responsibility, and quantitative literacy.

This program combines certificates or emphasis in specific disciplines to meet employer needs for unique skill combinations for which there is no established degree program. Employers reviewing transcripts will be able to quickly determine the combined areas of expertise.
