Business Management to include an AoC in Technical Management Studies Program Description
The Technical Management Studies Concentration A.A.S. degree provides a pathway for automotive technicians to use their industry-recognized credentials to qualify for career advancement, earn an associate degree, and continue their education at a four-year college.  The Technical Management Studies Concentration A.A.S. degree program will be administered by the Business/Hospitality Management Department under the Occupational and Emerging Technologies Division. Across the region, there are many opportunities for graduates with technical automotive certifications, including auto repair, maintenance, and service providers.  All courses in the Technical Management Studies Concentration A.A.S. degree program are part of other degree and certificate programs and are already offered by Wor-Wic Community College. It also provides students with the opportunity to complete an interdisciplinary program of college-level business, industrial, and emergency preparedness courses, allowing them to learn and apply skills in a variety of relevant subject areas and preparing them to assume supervisory and managerial roles in their chosen field. A specialized accreditation will not be pursued for the Technical Management Studies AAS degree. <br>
