What is applied technology?

The Associate of Applied Science in Applied Technology degree is designed for students who have previously earned college credit or have goals or backgrounds that are not supported by other A.A.S. programs.

Why applied technology?

Students graduate with 21 hours of general education courses and 30 hours of technical occupational specialty core course.

Academic Advantage

Students not yet certain of their major can pursue the Associate in Applied Science degree, obtain core general education credits and pick up basic skills required for most professional careers today. The general education courses within this sequence will easily transfer into a four-year degree program within the State of Oklahoma.

CareerTech

Through a partnership with Oklahoma CareerTech, OSU-OKC awards block college credit toward the AAS in Applied Technology for CareerTech training that students have already completed. Students who finished an aligned CareerTech program and hold an associated industry-recognized credential can convert that training into substantial progress toward the degree. The documents below explain how the credit works and which credentials qualify. Maribeth Dawson, Advisor, is the primary point of contact for questions: maribeth.dawson@okstate.edu or 405-945-8678.
