NOTES: This degree is awarded in conjunction with approved courses for a diploma or degree in technical programs.

The program must include a minimum of 60-quarter credit hours of occupational preparation courses. In most cases, completion of the requirements of a diploma program will meet this requirement; but, in addition, in all cases the following requirements must be met.

These courses must include a course providing computer literacy (normally SCT100).
All courses counting toward the 60 credit minimum must be taught by an instructor credentialed at a level qualifying him or her to teach in an AAS program (normally an associate degree).

Courses beyond the 60 credit minimum necessary to fulfill the requirement of completion of the diploma program may be taught by instructors credentialed only at the diploma program level, but will not be transferred into the degree program. Diploma level English, mathematics, science, psychology, and employment courses (DTAE courses not numbered in the 190s or 290s) may count toward the 60-credit minimum for the general education requirement above, regardless of the credentials of the instructor.
