AAS in Technology

Program Description
The Associate of Applied Science Degree in Technology was designed for individuals working in a technical
area who have considerable work experience and/or have obtained specialized certifications, licenses,
apprenticeships, etc. Some of these students are looking for a degree that will allow them better upward
mobility in their jobs or careers, or that may make it possible for them to more successfully launch their own
businesses. Students are required to take a class to develop a portfolio that presents licenses and workrelated certifications, as well as provides a rationale for receiving technical, experiential credit. Core courses
provide fundamental knowledge of contemporary technologies, and elective courses allow the students to
enhance their technical skills in one or more technical areas. A supervisory course is also required so
students can learn to manage workers in technologically intensive organizations.
This degree was approved at the State Board of Regents meeting on 03/21/2008. The Portfolio class was
first offered in the fall of 2008; however, the first student enrolled into the program in the fall of 2010.
Demand for the program is not as strong as anticipated; however, it is expected to improve as a result of
articulated agreements with UCAT.
This action was approved by the UVU Board of Trustees on June 16, 2011.
