Applied Associate in Arts and Sciences (AAAS)
Associate in Applied Science - T (AAS-T) If you
decide to transfer to a college or university, generally
only 15 of your professional/technical credits will be
counted toward your transfer degree.
Professional/technical degrees are designed to train
students for a specific job or field. Classes tend to be
hands-on, focusing on skills development as well as
providing supportive academic theory and research.
By comparison, many Bachelor degrees at universities
and colleges require students to focus their work in a
particular area of study (discipline), rather than a
specific job field. Many Bachelor degrees are not
designed to prepare graduates for a specific type of
work, but are designed instead to provide students with
a broad educational foundation that will prepare
students for a wide variety of careers.
There are some Bachelor degree programs, however,
that prepare students for specific professional fields.
Some examples of these are Business Administration,
Engineering, Education, and Health professions.
