The requirements for each major in the Associate in Applied Sciences Degree (AAS) are clearly shown in the curriculum patterns in this catalog located under Career and Technical Programs. Students seeking such a degree should become familiar with the specific required courses in the appropriate curriculum pattern and request advisement regarding these courses as needed.

Each Associate in Applied Sciences Degree

students must take to meet these requirements). Additionally, each student must
earn a grade point average of at least 2.00 ("C"), based on GPA #2 and meet all
