An associate in applied science (AAS) degree is a professional technical degree that prepares you for employment or for further college study. The AAS degrees are coordinated with Cascadia’s associate degrees and professional technical certificates to make it simpler to continue your education if or when you choose. The AAS degrees include the same collegiate math, English, and human relations courses as the associate degrees that prepare you for transfer to a 4-year college. All AAS degrees require you to complete 90-105 credits, or 2 years of full-time study.
