BGSU FirelandsAssociate of Technical Study
Associate of Technical Study
The associate of technical study degree program is designed to help students prepare individually for specialized technical occupations. The two-year curriculum enables students to devote their particular talents and training to occupational areas not otherwise addressed by existing college programs.
Career Opportunities
The academic flexibility of this degree program is as varied as are the jobs. As an example, a person interested in medical equipment sales might select technical courses in allied health (AHTH) to learn medical terminology and human anatomy; business administration technology (BAT) and marketing (MKT) to focus on the sales aspect, and electronics (ECT) to learn how the equipment works. This type of academic planning for careers requires careful investigation by the student to be sure the academic preparation meets future employment opportunities.
Curriculum
Students who are identified as being unable to accomplish their educational goals through an existing degree program will be assisted with the development of their educational plan by an academic advisor most closely aligned with their area of interest. Through degree and non-degree instructional components, students can meet their learning needs and maximize their progress toward recognized credentials. Students pursuing the associate of technical study must complete a minimum of 62 semester hours, 15 of which must be completed immediately preceding graduation at BGSU Firelands.
