Associate in Applied Science and
Associate in Science Degree Programs
You may be interested in earning an Associate in Applied Science
degree or an Associate in Science degree at Valencia College. Valencia
College offers numerous programs for students who are interested in
preparing for a career that requires study beyond the high school level
but does not require a Bachelor’s degree. These programs range from
business administration programs to health sciences programs such as
dental hygiene and registered nursing.
Applied Technology Diploma Program
When you decide to follow an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.)
degree or an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree program, you are not
necessarily preparing yourself for transfer to a state university. Earning
one of these degrees should prepare you for a successful and rewarding
career. If later you decide to attend a university, you may be required to
do additional work at the freshman or sophomore level.
The Applied Technology diploma (A.T.D.) program prepares students for
immediate entry into a career in the workforce. A.T.D. programs require
prescribed technical courses and a minimum of 11 college credits. For
students who meet degree-seeking requirements, college credits earned
in an Applied Technology diploma program are applicable toward a
related Associate in Science. The EMT Applied Technology diploma is
the only A.T.D. offered at Valencia College and the courses can be
applied toward the Emergency Medical Services Technology Associate
in Science degree. Applied Technology diploma students will receive a
diploma upon completion of the diploma program.
In the A.A.S. degree or A.S. degree program you choose, you will take
courses in two basic areas. One area will be specialized courses. For
instance, if you are going to study digital media technology, you will be
taking specialized courses in digital media, film and theatre.
The second major area of courses you will take will be general
education. General education courses are designed to help you become
a well-rounded individual capable of thinking, valuing, communicating,
and acting as a mature, educated and enlightened citizen. It is the
college’s belief that courses in general education, such as English
composition and humanities, will enhance your overall employment
potential since they will broaden your knowledge.
Technical Certificate Programs
The A.A.S. degree and A.S. degree programs are described on the
following pages. You can obtain additional information about these
programs in the Career Center and by contacting the Career Program
Advisors, Program Directors and Academic Deans who are assigned to
the program.
Due to the availability of staff, specialized equipment and labs, and
program costs, some A.A.S. degree and A.S. degree programs are
restricted to one campus. When this is the case, a note is made on the
program description page. For some programs, some of the
specialized courses may be offered at more than one campus and the
general education courses in the programs may be taken on any campus.
The Associate in Applied Science degree and the Associate in Science
degree require a minimum of 60 college credits. Each Associate in
Applied Science and Associate in Science degree program consists of a
core group of courses known as the area of specialization. To earn an
Associate in Applied Science or an Associate in Science degree, you
The Technical Certificate programs prepare students for immediate
entry into a career in the workforce. Technical Certificate programs
require prescribed technical courses, and may require general
education courses, for a minimum of 12 college credits. For students
who meet degree-seeking requirements, college credits earned in
a Technical Certificate program are applicable toward a related
Associate in Applied Science or an Associate in Science degree;
for example, the courses in the Human Resources Management
Technical Certificate can be applied toward the Business Administration
Associate in Applied Science degree. Students who complete the course
work prescribed for a Technical Certificate automatically will receive
the certificate. Also, students may request a Technical Certificate from
the academic department.
Career Certificate Programs
The Career Certificate programs prepare students for careers directly in
the workforce. The programs require prescribed technical credit
courses and basic skills proficiency achieved through developmental
courses. Students will receive a certificate upon completion of the
Career Certificate program. The only Career Certificate programs

offered at Valencia College are those offered through the Criminal
Justice Institute.
a Bachelor’s degree. For further information, visit
valenciacollege.edu/asdegrees/transferagreements.cfm.
Advanced Technical Certificate Programs
Acceptance of A.S. Degrees in Bachelor of Applied Science
(B.A.S.) Degree Programs
The Advanced Technical Certificate, an extension of a specific A.S.
degree program, consists of at least nine (9), but less than 45 credits of
college-level course work. Students who have already received an A.S.
degree and are seeking a specialized program of study to supplement
their associate degree may seek an Advanced Technical Certificate.
Students will receive a certificate upon completion of the program.
Some state universities have recently begun to offer the Bachelor of
Applied Science degree (B.A.S.) which is designed to build on the
Associate in Science degree (A.S.). This provides students the
opportunity to gain additional skills and knowledge beyond the
technical and workforce skills developed in the A.S. degree.
Limited-Access Programs
Limited-access status occurs when student demand exceeds
available resources such as faculty, instructional facilities, equipment,
etc. Admission to Valencia College does not guarantee acceptance
to a limited access degree or certificate in which the number of
students who may enroll is limited. Limited-access programs have
specific admission requirements. Career Programs with limited-access
status have it so indicated with the program information in this
catalog section.
Credits from Orange County Tech Centers and
Technical Center of Osceola
To promote career education programs, Valencia College may award
college credit for programs completed in Orange County Technical
Education Centers and the Technical Center of Osceola. Information
about eligible programs at tech centers and the award of credit is
included in this catalog in the descriptions of eligible programs and on
the Valencia Web site at
valenciacollege.edu/asdegrees/transferagreements.cfm
A.S. Degrees Transition to Bachelor’s
Degree Programs
The Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) at the University of Central
Florida (UCF) serves all Associate in Science (A.S.) graduates who desire
a Bachelor’s degree for career or personal advancement. The program
builds upon the technical or professional skills acquired in the A.S.
degree to develop competencies in management and communication,
with emphasis on developing skills in critical thinking, problem solving
and decision making. The curriculum consists of core courses in ethics,
management and communication, and a concentration chosen by the
student. This degree program has flexibility, allowing students to
complete any needed remaining general education or foreign language
courses at Valencia College or at UCF. For more information, see the

the examination and evaluation of the unborn child. With the most
recent technical advances in ultrasound, the sonographer is now able to
evaluate flow dynamics of many blood vessels of the fetus, pediatric and
adult patient.
Properly-trained sonographers are in demand in hospitals, clinics,
doctors’ offices, marketing, applications, and mobile services.
The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied
Health Education Programs. Graduates are eligible to take the national
certifying examinations administered by the American Registry of
Diagnostic Medical Sonographers.
