Credit Hour – Measurement of time spent academically for a course. 1 credit hour is awarded for each 16 hours of “class work;” or each 32 hours of “experiential lab work;” or each 48 hours of “faculty directed laboratory work” or “clinical practice.”

Curriculum Program – A curriculum program is an organized sequence of courses leading to an associate degree, a diploma, or a certificate.

Associate Degree – a planned program of study culminating an Associate in Applied Science (AAS, 64-76 total credit hours), Associate in Arts (AA, 64-65 total credit hours), or an Associate in Science (AS, 64-65 total credit hours). Typically takes 2 years to complete.

Diploma - Diploma programs are designed to provide entry-level employment training. These programs range from 36-48 total credit hours and can be usually completed by a full-time student within 1 to 1.5 year(s). Although these programs provide the same skills and hands-on training as our Associate in Applied Science programs, students are able to complete this credential much faster because it does not require many of the general education requirements found in the program's A.A.S. equivalent.

Certificate – The certificate programs are designed to lead to employment or to provide skills upgrading or retraining for individuals already in the workforce. Certificate programs consist of between 12 to 18 total credit hours. Typically takes 1 year to complete.
