INST 060 - Career And Technical Education Certificates And Degrees

Policy 

CWI provides programs in Career and Technical fields of study where regional workforce demand exists. In doing so, CWI seeks to ensure that its curriculum serves the present needs and anticipates the future expectations of its service area. CWI currently awards four different Career and Technical certificates, including a Basic Technical Certificate (BTC), Intermediate Technical Certificate (ITC), Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC), and Specialized Certificate (SC). CWI also awards an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degree. 

The President, with assistance of the Faculty Senate, Curriculum Committee, the Provost, and other appropriate administrators, shall establish procedures intended to assure courses used for Career and Technical certificates and degrees meet specific criteria.
