Board Of Governors AAS
The Board of Governors Associate of Applied Science requires 60 credit hours, including a general education core of 15 credit hours and 45 credit hours of general electives. Students may also choose to complete a capstone experience and a defined area of emphasis selected from a broad range of content areas.
Structured as an individualized educational degree plan by combining previously earned college credits, credit earned for work and life experiences, credits awarded through standardized testing (CLEP, DANTES, etc.), traditional or distance college-level courses, and credit for earlier learning experiences via licenses, certificates, military duty and other non-collegiate sources.
This program is a flexible degree completion opportunity designed for busy adults. Students save time and money as college credit is awarded for work and life experiences. This nontraditional program for adult learners can help you complete your degree, whether your goal is a personal one, an occupational goal or an employment requirement. Also, if you’re planning to move on to a four-year institution to complete a bachelor’s degree, you can build on the Board of Governors degree in the West Virginia Board of Regents Bachelor of Arts degree program offered at state colleges and universities.
