Generalized Example in Credit Hours
It should be emphasized that the illustration shown is an example only and should not be interpreted as a requirement or as an ideal. Many variations are possible and differences will likely be based upon the specific needs of a particular occupational field. In particular, the distinction between General Education and Related Studies is not always obvious. Likewise, the listing of traditional disciplines is not intended to detract from the required occupational outcome orientation or possible interdisciplinary approaches that might be used to achieve these outcomes. They are intended to better communicate the general scope, form and substance of the AAS degree criteria. The Technical Specialty Component would consist of those curriculum areas and outcomes, including supporting skills, that directly and immediately pertain to the specific occupational major.
