Academic Assessment


Related Instruction

Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees and/or certificates of 45 credits or more must contain a recognizable body of instruction in program-related categories of communication, computation and human relations. These three categories are referred to as "Related Insttuction." (Additional topics which should be covered as appropriate include safety, industrial safety, and environmental awareness.)

The related instruction requirement in certificates may be fulfilled using stand-alone courses, courses in the program containing embedded instruction, or a combination of the two. Each approach, however, must have clearly identified content that is pertinent to the general program of study. In addition, departments are strongly encouraged to use standalone courses whenever possible.
