Individualized Track

Choose the individualized track if you hold an AAS in a field other than healthcare or the sciences. The individualized track is highly flexible.

As a student in the track, you take courses based on your interests, backgrounds, and needs. These courses prepare you to:

• Demonstrate your ability to think critically in the fields you study.
• Effectively present central ideas, issues, and methods of inquiry specific to the fields you study.
• Apply knowledge and skills from general education, the BAS core, and the individualized track to issues or challenges in your area of technical expertise.

The following examples show how you might tailor this track to meet your individual needs.
