Definition of Academic Degrees

When you enroll at 十大彩票网赌平台, you have the option of working toward a certificate or an associate 学位. This information will help you decide which one is right for you.

Associate 学位s

We offer 4 associate 学位s that are assigned based on an area of study's primary purpose and the minimum level of general education requirements. The 学位 title and specific program title will appear on the diploma.

Associate in Arts (A.A.)

The Associate in Arts is a transfer 学位, used mainly by humanities and social science 项目. Some transfer 项目 in health, technology, and business also use the A.A. 学位 title. A.A. 学位s require between 60 and 63 credit 小时 to complete.

Associate in Science (A.S.)

The Associate in Science 学位 is mainly used by transfer 项目 that have heavy math and science requirements. It requires a minimum of 60 credit 小时.

Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.)

The Associate in Applied Science is the standard career-entry 学位. It is used for 项目 that prepare students for careers in health, business and technology. 不等 between 60 and 72 credit 小时, this 学位 is good for 项目 that are mainly career-entry but also have articulation agreements with specific bachelor's 学位 项目. An articulation agreement is a formal agreement between 2 colleges (or a college and university) that provides a clear path for you to transfer your credits.

Associate in General Studies 学位 (A.G.S)

The Associate in General Studies (A.G.S) is a flexible cross-divisional 学位 program that allows the students, in consultation with an advisor, to design a program that combines courses from multiple areas of the institution. This 学位 has dual uses and can be planned for either transfer or career entry according to the student's 需要.

Certificates

We offer 4 types of certificates that are designed to meet a variety of 需要—from preparing you for an entry-level job to helping you obtain advanced skills, if you are already in the workforce. Certificates also can form the foundation for an associate 学位.

Since our certificate 项目 are developed with industry professionals, you can be assured that you are learning current industry standards and practices in state-of-the-art labs that lead to gainful employment.

Certificate of Completion

The Certificate of Completion provides you with a discrete body of skills and/or knowledge that will prepare you for an entry-level position or enhance your current skill set. The Certificate of Completion can be credit or noncredit, but is limited to a maximum of 8 credit 小时 (approximately 1-3 courses).

Certificate

This certificate is awarded for standard credit 项目 that range from 9 to 36 credit 小时. Primarily used to prepare you for entry-level occupations, the certificate also may be used to prepare you for an advanced certificate. Certificates also may form the basis for an associate 学位.

Advanced Certificate

Advanced Certificate 项目 further enhances your education and provides more advanced skills than the basic Certificate program.  Some advanced certificate 项目 prepare you for an industry recognized certificate exam. These 项目 range in length from 9 to 36 credit 小时.  Completion of a certificate or equivalent industry experience is required for admission into these 项目.

Post-Associate Certificate

Post-Associate Certificate 项目 provide you advanced study and/or formal certification in an occupational area. These 项目 may be from 9 to 36 credit 小时 in length and require an associate 学位 or equivalent industry experience for admission to the program.
