Associate of Applied Science-Transferable (AAS-T) Degree Program

The Educator Training Center is pleased to offer a new AAS-T Degree Program in Professional-Technical Education. The degree program is designed specifically for post-secondary professional-technical educators who are employed on a 50 percent or greater basis.

The purpose is to provide a structured degree pathway in education for post-secondary professional-technical educators, providing them with an educational continuum toward a baccalaureate in education. The degree structure—designed around the Washington State Skill Standards for Professional-Technical College and Customized Trainers—provides leadership and technical skills beyond those required for professional-technical certification. The curriculum for this program is entirely competency based and is designed as a series of discreet, modularized extended learning courses.
