    Applicant Profile

    The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program is most suitable for adult students with some college experience who are clear about their interests in the field of design and prepared for rapid immersion in a professional course of study. The typical student holds a bachelor's degree or other advanced degree and work experience in a field other than design.

Applicants must have graduated from high school at least two years before the term to which they are applying.
