Associates in Applied Science Degrees

 

 

Need a college program that does not last 4 years or more?

 

Want to take a program that reflects your interests and skills?

 

Want a program that helps you obtain a job, promotion, or a higher wage?

 

 

Daley College has the following two-year degrees with you in mind.  A recent survey by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) listed the degrees we offer as “Hot” programs.  The survey’s national rankings are in parenthesis.

 

Accounting (11)                              Child Development (16)

Computer Information Systems (2)       Criminal Justice/Public Policing (6)

Marketing/Management (11)                    Manufacturing Technology (9)

Nursing (1)

 

Which one should I select?  Let our counselors (773-838-7575) assess your interests and skills, supply you with job market information, and help you pick the right program.  The sooner you know your goal, the more motivated you will be in all your classes!

 

Are jobs available in these areas with a two-year degree?  A recent study by the City Colleges of Chicago shows a demand for this level and type of skills in our area.  Nationwide, our programs are in career surveyed as “hot” by the AACC.

 

How much is a two-year degree worth?  A study showed that a student with a two-year college degree would make an average $300,000 more over a lifetime than a high school graduate.  In other words, you will earn $3.50 more per hour over a 40 year period.

 

How hard do I have to work to succeed in these programs?  Well, how hard do you have to work to get a $3.50 raise from your current employer?  These programs will need your consistent attendance.  A full load of 5 classes will require a full week’s effort of 35-40 hours.

 

Is there an opportunity to apply my Associate in Applied Science degree towards a 4-year degree?  Yes, many of the classes will transfer but some may not depending on the University you have selected.  Some Universities accept 100% of the courses in an AAS degree through special articulation agreements or through their Bachelor of Art in General studies Programs.  Talk to your counselor (773-838-7575) or a program’s faculty member for complete information.
