Associate of Applied Science
The Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS) is designed for the adult working in the technical field who wishes to apply their technical training and work experience towards a college degree.
Students who possess either a certificate from Ranken, a certificate from another accredited technical training program, or equivalent work experience can use that training for college credit towards their associate degree at Ranken.
Training programs from other institutions and work experience will be evaluated by the Registrar’s office.
Once the technical training aspects are met, students will then focus on completing the general education courses — and could graduate with an associate degree in as little as two short years. Geared towards the working adult, classes are conveniently offered in the evening and online.
Graduates of the AAS degree program will not only possess the technical skills to advance on the job but will also have the communication and critical thinking skills necessary to further their career. Graduates will also have the opportunity to continue their education further and apply their associate degree towards a bachelor’s degree.
