AAS Degree in Applied Health Studies

The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Applied Health Studies helps mid-career adults in a wide range of applied fields meet their educational and professional needs. While the Associate in Applied Science is considered to be a terminal degree, many but not all of the credits may be applied to one of the University’s bachelor degree programs. The AAS degree in Applied Health Studies is a 60-credit program.

Earning Credit in the AAS Options:
Students often enter with many of the credits in the career track completed from military or civilian training. If the option has not already been completed, students may use Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) to gain college credit for their knowledge. While there are some examinations in auto mechanics and electronics, there are few distance learning opportunities in most of the AAS career tracks. Credits in general education and free electives may be earned by a wide variety of methods.
