Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science

The industrial management technology (military) program is designed to provide opportunities for those with military service experience and training to apply those competencies to obtain college credit towards an associate in science degree. Applicable credits will be awarded after an evaluation of the DD-295, following the recommendations of the American Council on Education Guide (ACE Guide).

NOTE: Students have two degree alternatives in this program: The associate in science (A.S.) and the associate in applied science (A.A.S.). If you intend to pursue further education at the university level, you should enroll in the A.S. option. If you intend to go directly to work after completing your associate’s degree, consider the A.A.S. While the A.A.S. will not provide you with the transfer benefits of the A.S., the A.A.S. will provide you with the skills required to begin working in the field immediately upon graduation. If you are unsure of which option is best for you, please see an advisor for further counseling.
