The Applied Technology degree provides students who have successfully completed specialized training at a Tennessee Technology Center (previously called the Industrial Technology Center Division at Chattanooga State) or an apprenticeship program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor to advance their careers by completing concentrations in either technology management or technology education. Students admitted to these programs are awarded 30 semester hours of advanced placement credit upon completion of all transitional studies requirements and 15 hours of college credit with a GPA of 2.0 or above.
