Successful Outcomes Rate
From Dr. Deken: A large percentage of the students who complete our AAS program stay on to complete a BS program. By working with an advisor, you can choose classes in the AAS that seamlessly transition into one of our many BS programs. For students not going onto a 4-year degree, many are sought after in the workforce (I don’t have exact data on it though).
