Graduation Requirements

Associate of Technical Study
A two-year, specially designed program leading to the Associate of Technical Study (ATS) degree is available for those needing a great deal of curriculum flexibility.

This degree program utilizes courses from:

  • The College
  • Other institutions
  • Work experience (a maximum of 12 credits)
  • Training conducted by industry and / or
    other agencies (a maximum of 24 credits)

Students must enroll for a minimum of 55 credits at the College and enroll in 33 credits after the Dean grants preliminary approval, awards transfer, work experience, and prior training credit and collects ad hoc advisory comments.

Older students with a special career goal can combine past training and collegiate education with course work at Zane State College and other institutions.

Through the Associate of Technical Study Program, a College degree is designed with the student and reviewed by an ad hoc advisory committee of practicing business professionals brought together by the College.

Graduation requirements are high and the process is long, but students get a tailored program that has been reviewed as academically sound by the College and occupationally valid by the ad hoc committee.
