The associate of technical study degree is awarded for successful completion of an individually planned technical education program designed to respond to the needs for specialized technical education not currently available in the degree programs available at BGSU Firelands.

Learning Outcomes for the Associate of Technical Study:

Explain applied principles as derived from the technical or vocational area of focus.
Apply principles from the technical or vocational area of focus to solve problems or perform tasks.
Use general writing and mathematical principles to solve problems.
Describe how general education in the sciences or humanities applies to the technical or vocational area of focus.

The program must have an area of concentration in technical studies which is clearly identifiable with a career objective.

The area of concentration can be formed either by:
