Associate in Occupational Technology Degree Program
Major in General Technology

The General Technology program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to upgrade a diploma or certificate program into a broader occupational degree. The program is designed to be substantially individualized to meet the needs of employees who have or seek to have broad technical responsibilities.

The General Technology program requires that a student have completed, or be in the last term of a diploma or certificate program of 28 hours. The student then supplements that prerequisite education with additional general education requirements and with a minimum of 12 credit hours in a single technical area other than that in which the student received his or her diploma or certificate. These courses are selected by the student and advisor to meet the particular employment needs and aspirations of the student.

Students in the following programs, with general education courses and a secondary specialty, may earn a degree in Occupational Technology with a Major in General Technology:

Advertising Design, Desktop Publishing, Illustration, Interior Design; Photography, Horticulture Landscape Management, Welding and Machine Tool.
