What is an Associate Degree in Applied Technical Studies?

This program is designed for students who have successfully passed national skills credentialing in a designated technical field. The student is able to apply those credentialed skills to the program-based credits of the degree while completing the general education requirements of an associates degree.

This program is of particular interest for Career and Technical Education (CTE) high school graduates that do not have specific degree programs related to their field of study.
