Associate of Applied Science in General Education Certificate

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The A.A.S. (Associate of Applied Science) General Education Core certificate provides a formal credential for students who begin at one community college and because of convenience may transfer elsewhere to complete the A.A.S. degree as the desired degree is not offered at the initial college. This is especially true for health-care-related and technical A.A.S. degree students.
