Technical/Professional Studies

The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree recognizes curricular focus in a specific occupational area. This degree is intended primarily for immediate employment or occupational skills upgrading, but also provides opportunities for transfer to a four-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree.

Technical/Professional Studies

The AAS degree program in Technical/Professional Studies is designed to enable students to combine courses from a variety of disciplines to customize a program of study in a variety of career areas.

This program can be used for transfer into a baccalaureate program. Students must be familiar with the requirements of the receiving institution and consult with an academic advisor in planning an appropriate program of study.

 

Chesapeake College has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Maryland College Park’s Institute for Applied Agriculture for a joint associate’s degree in Technical/Professional Studies and a variety of agriculture-related programs including, Agriculture Business Management, Equine Business Management, Ornamental Horticulture, Turf Grass Management, Golf Course Management, and Landscape Management. Students should work closely with Chesapeake College’s Transfer Advisor in planning a program of study.
