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:
- A coherent combination of technical courses selectively drawn from two or more technical programs currently offered by BGSU Firelands to serve a career objective which would not be adequately addressed by one of the existing programs; or
- Courses completed or training received at other institutions of higher education, vocational centers, and/or other educational enterprises judged by BGSU Firelands to be of college level and worthy of college credit.
The student will work with the assigned advisor to create a degree program that meets the student’s occupational goals.
At least 15 semester credit hours must be completed at BGSU Firelands.
