Degree: Associate of Applied Science in Applied Technology

Students desiring to complete the AAS degree in Applied Technology may complete the technical coursework contained in a state-approved certificate career and technical education program at one of the four area vocational technical schools (AVTS). The four AVTS are Delta-Montrose Area Vocational Technical Center, Emily Griffith Opportunity School, San Juan Basin Technical College, and Pickens Tech Center.

The general education and other degree requirements are completed at one of the Colorado public community/junior colleges. The AAS degree is conferred by the community college at which the general education and other degree requirements have been completed.

The approved certificate career and technical education programs at the AVTS prepare you by providing technical, applied academic and employability skills. Credit in varying amounts from these certificate programs is applicable to the community college’s AAS degree in Applied Technology. Individual coursework from the AVTS is credited to your transcript upon completion of the requirements of both institutions.

You may enroll concurrently in both an AVTS and a community college. You must comply with the regulations and requirements relating to admission and attendance at each institution.
