for students desiring to transfer to four-year institutions. The A.A.S.
is primarily for those in two-year career programs, although many students
transfer to four-year colleges after earning the A.A.S. degree.
In addition, the College provides certificate programs designed to meet
specific needs of the community. These programs are normally one year
in length, and upon completion of the prescribed courses, the student
receives a certificate of completion.
