The Associate in Applied Science degree is specifically designed to prepare students for entry into an occupation or closely related cluster of
occupations. The technical courses are complex, rigorous, theory based, and successful completion is determined by measured competencies.
Although the objective of the AAS degree is to enhance employment opportunities, some baccalaureate degree granting institutions have developed
upper-division programs to recognize this degree. Developmental courses will not count toward fulfilling degree requirements (ENGL-090,
ENGL-091, ENGL-098, ENGL-099, READ-092, READ-093, MATH-005, and MATH-006). Official transcripts must be on file in the Registrar’s
Office to receive credit for transfer courses toward graduation. Students must complete a minimum of fifteen (15) of the last 30 credit hours
at Garden City Community College (GCCC) to receive a degree.
Students will follow the guidelines of the catalog in effect at initial enrollment, provided they remain continuously enrolled. If a semester is skipped,
students will follow guidelines of catalog in effect when they returned.
