Advanced Technical Certificates

The Advanced Technical Certificate (A.T.C.) is an extension of a specific Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science, or higher degree program. Students who have already earned an eligible associate degree and are seeking to enhance their skills through advanced specialized training in their field of study may pursue an Advanced Technical Certificate, consisting of at least nine (9) but fewer than 45 credits of college-level coursework. 

The A.S. degrees in Allied Health and Nursing programs lead to enrollment in various Advanced Technical Certificates, and credits earned in those certificates can apply toward related Bachelor's degrees. Review the specific Advanced Technical Certificate program information for information about the A.S. degrees that lead to a specific A.T.C. or Bachelor's degree.

There is an additional $15 program application fee for all Advanced Technical certificates (except Leadership in Healthcare), which is nonrefundable and nontransferable. Students must pay the fee before submitting the program application. Review the Bachelor of Science degree program requirements for information about A.T.C.-related academic policies.
