DEGREES PROGRAMS
ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE (DIRECT
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS)
The AAS degree is most commonly used to prepare students
for employment in a specific career. Some Arizona universities
have responded to the needs in particular technical fields by creating two-plus-two programs enabling a student with an AAS
degree to transfer to a university without loss of time.
These degree programs may require lower-division general
education courses in the junior and senior year. See an academic advisor for information about the bachelor of applied science
degrees (BAS) at Arizona public universities.
Cochise College has the following associate of applied science degrees. See the Areas of Study section of this catalog for
complete degree programs.
Administration of Justice
Agriculture
Aviation Maintenance Technology
Avionics Technology
Business Management

AREAS OF STUDY
A minimum of 16 credits must be completed at Cochise
College.
Courses in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral
sciences have content addressing ethnic/race/gender
awareness and contemporary global/international or historical
awareness embedded in the coursework.
TEACHER AIDE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Teacher Aide Certificate program consists of three
sequential levels, each of which provides the student with
increasing levels of academic skills and content knowledge, both
essential to enhancing the teacher aides contribution to the elementary, middle, or secondary school instructional process.
Each of the three levels is designed to move the participant
toward an associate of arts degree with an emphasis in pre-elementary education, a degree which fulfills the lower division
course requirements at all three Arizona state universities.
