Associate of Science in Professional Studies
The Associate of Science in Professional Studies prepares graduates for entry-level positions in their field and prepares them to transfer into Bachelor-level programs at Trident with junior standing. Our mission is to produce highly competent, ethical, caring professionals who can both manage and affect positive change in organizations and systems. We do this with an evidence-based, online teaching model, and a student‐centered learning environment in which undergraduates can expand their knowledge and skills.
The Associate of Science in Professional Studies requires 60 semester credits. The depth and breadth of the general education requirements along with the professional experience gained though a vocational, technical, or professional certificate program will lead to an associate degree that will prepare students for the workforce and potentially for the next level of education. The AS in Professional Studies degree provides students with a viable academic credential and a clear path towards a Bachelor of Science degree program.
