Students
who enter DeKalb Tech may select from over 100 programs of study.
Depending on program objectives and the number of quarters or courses
required, a degree or diploma is awarded upon the successful completion
of all required courses in the chosen program of study. Career Programs
are designed for students who wish to complete a technical program
which will prepare them to enter employment at a level of competence
requiring more than a high school education but less than a four-year
college or university degree. Students who complete a career program
will be eligible for an Associate in Applied Science Degree or a diploma. A program
of study or course may not be offered because of insufficient enrollment.
Students should inquire about particular program offerings before
enrolling. In addition to degree and diploma programs, selected
courses are offered in some programs. These include evening courses
offered through the Adult Education Division and off-campus courses
offered through the Business and Industry Services Division.
CAREER PROGRAMS LEADING TO
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREES AND DIPLOMAS
