ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE & CERTIFICATES

    Shawnee Community College ’s vocational and technical programs are called career programs because they prepare students to enter challenging, specialized careers after two years of college or less.

    Career programs grew from the need for technicians and skilled employees in all areas of business, medicine, and industry. Practical, job-preparatory knowledge is emphasized in the community college’s career programs. Students can pursue most of these programs either full or part-time.
