Program Description:

The Associate of Technical Study degree uses courses from existing two-year technical programs along with the general education base to fulfill a unique educational need. Intended for individuals with specialized technical interests, the Associate of Technical Study degree allows the student to develop, with the guidance of a designated faculty advisor, an individualized technical program. This individualized program must establish an educational goal and include a concentration of courses required to accomplish that goal.

The SkillsTrac option utilizes credits articulated from the SkillTrac training program in the Business Enterprise Center at the Lake Campus.
