Associate degree holders in multiple disciplines from an accredited institution have the ability to earn this Bachelor’s in Technology online or on-campus. This degree is very versatile for a wealth of people; it is perfect for those already in the workforce that hold an associate degree but need or desire a Bachelor’s degree for advancement, for those with a non-discipline specific associate degree who want to gain a B.S. with general knowledge in Technology, for people with a discipline specific associate degree that was from a community college without a direct path to a discipline specific B.S. in their A.S discipline. Additionally, those who have taken various college coursework, but who have not obtained an associate can usually apply that coursework toward an associate from V.U. by meeting our associate degree requirements (this is done on a case-by-case basis) and then completing the B.S. requirements.
