Program Description
The Technical Studies program allows a qualified individual to plan a program of study that meets his or her career goals. The program is intended for currently employed people or students whose career objectives cannot be met by BSC's existing programs. Each student works with an advisor to customize a program that combines skills and knowledge of different disciplines.
Technical Studies is especially helpful for workers expected to handle multiple tasks using new technologies or a combination of technologies. For example, someone may want to combine marketing and Web design courses to assist in a job at a small business. A student decides to combine work in a trade area and management courses with the goal of owning his or her own business.
Program Objectives
1) Provide flexibility in programming
2) Help meet career goals of students that cannot be met by a single instructional program
3) Provide a customized and individualized plan of study
4) Provide opportunities for those in the workforce to broaden or enhance skills.
Preparation
Potential enrollees in Technical Studies may be eligible for course credit based on prior learning through their employer or other non-college training.
Program Requirements
Students complete an approved individual plan in conjunction with the Prior Learning Coordinator. The study plan must include a rationale, career objectives, sequenced courses, and evidence of sufficient academic rigor. Students may develop a program that allows them to earn a Program Certificate or Associate in Applied Science degree.
Career Opportunities
Career advancement or preparation for alternative employment.
