The job outlook for individuals who graduate from this program of study is excellent. An internship is included to help you obtain the real-world experience many employers require. Students who have extensive work experience may apply to have their work evaluated to fulfill this requirement.
   
  A technical certificate is included as an option within this degree program. Students may choose to pursue an A.A.S. degree and earn technical certificates while completing the requirements for the degree, or pursue one or more certificate programs to develop or upgrade their skills in a particular field.
