The Technical Studies program permits a qualified individual to plan a unique program of study to meet his or her own career goals. The program is intended for currently employed individuals or other students whose career objectives cannot be met by BSC's existing programs. Each student works with an advisor to customize a program that combines skills and knowledge of different disciplines. For example, a student pursuing the Technical Studies degree or certificate may want to combine work in a trade area with management courses with a goal of owning his or her own business. Or, someone may wish to combine marketing and Web design courses that will assist in his or her work with a small business.
The objectives of the program are:
1) to provide flexibility in programming,
2) to help meet the career goals of students that cannot be met by a single instructional program,
3) to provide a customized and individualized plan of study, and
4) to provide opportunities for those in the workforce to broaden or enhance skills.
This program will be especially helpful for workers who are expected to handle multiples tasks using new technologies, or a combination of technologies. These expectations for a worker to be multi-skilled might not be met through an existing BSC technical program. However, the Technical Studies program can provide the means for workers to gain the skills and competencies required in their workplace.
Students in the Technical Studies program may be eligible for credit based on prior learning through their employment or other non-collegiate trainings. Students will develop a plan of study in conjunction with the Prior Learning Coordinator. The plan of study must include a rationale and career objectives, the sequenced courses, and evidence of sufficient academic rigor.
Students may develop a program that allows them to earn a Program Certificate or Associate in Applied Science degree.
