Technical Certificate of Credit Programs
Certificate programs are those areas of study that are one year or less
in length. Students who are awarded a Certificate usually are interested
in short-term training which meets a specific need. These programs are
designed for those students who wish to make a swift transition into
the workforce.
Diploma Programs
Diploma programs vary in length, but usually require at least one
year to complete and offer a more well-rounded education than certificate
programs. Along with the occupational courses, students are required
to take general education courses including English and math. Students
enrolled in diploma courses are interested in longer-term training
than certificate students, but less than college level.
Associate of Applied Science Degree Programs
Degree programs are from 18 to 24 months in length with a focus on
college level instruction. Along with the occupational courses, students
are required to take college level courses in English and math. Degree
students have the option of seeking employment in their chosen field
of study or expanding their education to a higher level than that
of a diploma or certificate program. DeKalb Technical College has
collaborative agreements with the University System to provide easy
transfer of Associate Degree credits into Bachelor's or Master's Degree
programs at various colleges and universities throughout Georgia.
