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 Firelands College. 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:
The development of the educational plan will be done jointly by the student and
an academic adviser assigned by the Office of Student Services. Each candidate for
this degree must complete an associate of technical study application that identifies
the
area of concentration and designates courses to be taken to complete the
degree. The application will be forwarded to the Academic Review Board for review
and approval. Any changes in the educational plan will require the signature of
the academic adviser and the approval of the Academic Review Board. A student unable
or unwilling to meet the college degree requirements, or who has submitted
a proposal deemed unacceptable will be denied admission into program.
This degree is awarded for the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 62 semester credit hours. Prior to the completion of 40 semester credit hours, each degree candidate must complete an associate of technical study application form outlining his or her intended area of concentration and designating course areas for further study to accommodate this plan. Each student's individual curriculum must meet the minimum requirements of 30 semester credit hours of technical studies, 14 semester credit hours of basic foundation courses and 14 semester credit hours of general studies.
Following approval of the application each candidate must complete no fewer than 22 semester credit hours of coursework under the supervision of Firelands College. At least 15 semester credit hours must be completed at Firelands College.
