Notes
• FACS-1540 Human Relations will count as a Social Science graduation requirement only for the Occupational Programs and Business Programs.
Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS), Diploma, Certificate, Professional Skill Awards
The Associate of Occupational Studies degree prepares students for careers in technical and vocational areas. The AOS is not intended to be a transfer degree; however, courses within certain programs will transfer to bachelor degree-granting institutions. Therefore, it is important for students to work closely with their individual faculty advisors.
NOTE: The Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS) degree is a terminal degree and is not intended to be a transfer degree.
However, certain courses within the program may transfer to bachelor degree-granting institutions. Transfer acceptance of credits toward a bachelor’s degree is the decision of the receiving institution. Students intending to transfer should work closely with WNCC and the transfer institution to identify appropriate college coursework while at WNCC.
