Black River Technical College
Business/Technology Department

The Associate of Applied Science degree is designed to lead students directly to employment in a specific career.  It requires a minimum of 60 credit hours, including general education courses, established technology core courses, and courses specific to the designated major.  Students are required to complete the BRTC degree plans included in the catalog year of which they are admitted to the institution.  (Ex:  2006-2007 “first time entering students” would complete the courses on the degree plan for that particular year)  Degree plans for four years are listed on this website. For all other degree plans, contact your advisor or the Office of Student Services.

However, for students who wish to pursue academic degrees at four-year colleges, BRTC provides a bridge.  The basic academic course work offers students an appropriate college foundation to qualify for admittance to a four-year college and prepare for successful work in the upper classes.  The faculty is actively involved in advisement to help students with this transition.

Most colleges will only accept transfer of courses with a grade of “C” or better, but those colleges with who BRTC has a partnership agreement (ASU and WBC) may accept all BRTC courses (with the exception of a grade of “D” in Freshman English I), even those with a “D” grade, if students have an overall GPA of 2.00 and are transferring complete Associate of Arts degrees.  Students are responsible for contacting the registrar at the receiving college regarding transfer policies at that college.
