Academics
ASA is committed to providing quality higher education through job-relevant training and a diverse, globally-oriented education. It offers 10 associate degrees in four different disciplines: computer technology, business, criminal justice, and healthcare. It also offers a number of certificate programs.
Classes are rarely more than 40 students, and can be taken during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends. The college values strong, professional relationships between faculty and students, so students have a number of opportunities to network and gain advice from their professors.
ASA classes stress hands-on training and active learning. Students will participate in activities inside and outside the classroom that reinforce textbook theory. In addition to the requirements of their major, graduates are also schooled in a strong foundation of liberal arts, including the arts, sciences, and humanities. Former graduates are also eligible for free skills upgrades and lifetime job placement services.
Specific Degree Programs
Each program at ASA offers something different to its students. The Criminal Justice degree gives students the chance to do an externship in their last semester. Through this program, students gain hands-on, real-world experience working in police departments, Social Services, private security, and more.
The Associate of Occupational Studies in Business Administration is designed for students who want to become business analysts, managers, or information technology consultants after graduation. However, the program is also designed to help students transfer to a four-year college. ASA
