And in all things, we’ll help you work toward becoming a capable and trusted disciple of Jesus Christ. So whatever you do, you’ll be prepared to be the best you possible.
HOW AN ASSOCIATE OF APPLIED SCIENCE (AAS) DEGREE WORKS
If your goal is to gain the skills to go right to work, an AAS degree in Communication could be the right fit. This 2-year degree provides you with the in-demand, hands-on skills to get a good-paying job quickly.
The AAS degree is not designed to transfer, although many of the course credits may be accepted by other institutions. It’s designed to prepare you for an entry-level position in a specific field, with no further education required to succeed.
DON'T FORGET TO PLAN YOUR COURSES
Have you laid out your course sequencing yet? It’s essential that you meet with your success advisor first thing to ensure that you stay on track. Accumulating too many credits will not only affect your eligibility for financial aid, but also your ability to transfer to another school.
So don’t wait. Set yourself up for success by mapping out your required courses from the beginning. You can reach your success advisor through the Student Success Center at studentsuccesscenter@ensign.edu or 801-524-8151.
