    Choosing Your Program:

    You may earn an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree and College Credit Certificate (C.C.C.) by completing SFSC’s Information Technology programs. Choose the degree or certificate program that helps you accomplish your employment and educational goals.

    Associate in Science Degrees

    Associate in Science (A.S.) degree programs provide students with a fundamental education in specific areas of skill and knowledge. A.S. degrees take approximately two years to complete. Students learn essential skills that qualify them for employment, and they earn college credits that are accepted by many bachelor’s degree programs. The credits earned through these A.S. degrees can be transferred to SFSC’s Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Supervision and Management (BAS-SM). Because other colleges have their own admission requirements, make sure you verify that the bachelor’s degree program you plan to enter will accept your SFSC credits.

    College Credit Certificates

    College Credit Certificate (C.C.C.) programs are short-term options for students who want to learn skills they can use to find immediate employment while also earning college credits that can be applied to an A.S. degree. C.C.C. programs take approximately one year to complete and focus heavily on mastering specific skills.
