General Technology (A.A.S.)

General Technology prepares students for unique positions in the workplace for which specific degree programs do not currently exist.  The purpose of the degree is to meet customized, industry-specific needs and/or unique academic and career goals. The program consists of a common core of General Education and major courses selected from the Major Technology Core of two existing A.A.S. degree programs. The remaining subject-specific Technology courses are selected from those same programs.

The General Technology program is designed to allow the student maximum flexibility in designing an educational program that meets specific career-related objectives through coursework in the Career Programs.

Designed as a cross-disciplinary program, General Technology allows the student to combine A.A.S. degree program courses, such as those in engineering technology or business technology or computer technology, in order to meet individualized career goals. The student must meet with an assigned advisor to develop an individualized sequence of courses.
