 The Technical Studies program allows a student whose exact needs are not met by any single program at the College to combine elements of several technologies in a meaningful and logical way under the guidance of a Technical Studies Council. The Technical Studies Council will help the student formulate a course of study that closely matches his/her goals and needs. The course of study will be committed to writing (including all individual classes that the student must take), and, upon successful completion of the program, the student will be awarded the Associate of Technical Studies degree. The Technical Studies option is open to any student admitted to the College who is in good standing academically.

General Technical Studies Program Requirements:

  • Minimum of 100 total credit hours
  • Maximum of 110 total credit hours
  • Contains at least 48 credit hours of technical courses
  • Contains at least 21 credit hours of basic courses (those that closely support the technical courses)
  • Contains at least 21 credit hours of general studies courses (including at least 12 credit hours in English, one course of which must be SPE 101 Speech or SPE 105 Interpersonal Communication, and at least 9 credit hours of Humanities/Social Science Electives).

A student who wishes to pursue Technical Studies must complete a  Technical Studies application form available from Admissions. A student will be considered admitted to the Technical Studies program only after his/her course of study has been formulated and approved by the Technical Studies Council (six weeks should be allowed for this process).
