Applied Technology Specialist (ATSP)
In collaboration with Cincinnati State’s Workforce Development Center, the Center for Innovative Technologies offers the Applied Technology Specialist degree. Students who complete all program requirements earn an Associate of Technical Studies degree.
The Applied Technology Specialist degree is designed for military veterans and other individuals with significant experience in a technical field. Students may receive up to 30 credit hours, nearly half of the degree requirement, for related education, specialized training, or past work experience. Students must meet with their advisor to determine how much credit will be awarded for past education or experience, and to select courses needed to complete the degree, including elective courses from engineering technologies or information technologies fields.
For more information call the Center for Innovative Technologies at (513) 569-1743.
All degree-seeking students must complete a First Year Experience (FYE) course as part of the first 12 credit hours taken at Cincinnati State.
