The following section is a description of all programs of study offered at Fletcher Technical Community College. The curricula are as accurate and complete as possible at the time of publication of this catalog. Since this catalog was prepared, some programs may have been added or deleted and/or changes in curricula may have been made. Each credential type and possible exit level designations are defined below. Exit levels are indicated in bold on the curriculum page for each program of study.
CTC = Career and Technical Certificate: An applied skills program (6-18 credit hours) that provides specific, meaningful technical skills relative to employment readiness. The CTC includes a demonstrated alignment with, and a process whereby a student’s competencies are verified against, a set of pre-determined standards which lead to and/or prepare an individual to test for an industry-based certification (IBC), state licensure, or state-recognized certification awarded by an independent, third party that is recognized by business and industry and/or the State of Louisiana. At least half of the CTC requirements should be distinctive from other credentials. The CTC is NOT designed for transfer to an academic degree program. CTCs may be combined to form a Certificate of Technical Studies (CTS) and/or a Technical Diploma (TD).
CTS = Certificate of Technical Studies: An applied, technical program (16-33 credit hours) to provide a student with a broad technical competency in a specific area or field. The CTS is NOT designed for transfer into an academic degree program.
CGS = Certificate of General Studies: An academically-oriented offering designed to provide students with a broad foundation of fundamental academic skills, primarily for personal growth or as preparation for further collegiate study. The CGS framework allows students an opportunity to tailor their courses to meet admission or pre-requisite requirements of a transfer institution. The 30-hour curriculum consists of eight general education courses (24 SCH) and two elective courses. CGS programs are strictly limited to two-year institutions.
TD = Technical Diploma: An applied, technical program (45-60 credit hours) usually formed by combining multiple CTSs and/or CTCs. TD programs are NOT designed for transfer.
AA = Associate of Arts Degree: An academic degree program (60-72 credit hours) with a significant general education core (27 credit hours) designed primarily to serve as preparatory for transfer to a related baccalaureate program.
AS = Associate of Science Degree: An academic degree program (60-72 credit hours) with a significant general education core (27 credit hours) designed primarily to serve as preparatory for transfer to a related baccalaureate program.
AAS = Associate of Applied Science Degree: An applied degree program (60-72 credit hours) primarily designed to prepare students for immediate employment or career entry.
AGS = Associate of General Studies Degree: An academic program (60 credit hours), with a limited core component, primarily designed to prepare students for immediate employment or career entry. AAS degrees can be formed by combining a TD with 15 credit hours of required general education or can be a distinct curriculum. All general education coursework must meet SACSCOC requirements. If technical coursework required of the degree is intended for transfer to a university, this coursework must meet appropriate SACSCOC requirements.
AALT = Associate of Arts Louisiana Transfer Degree: An academic program (60 credit hours) that follows a prescribed curriculum (providing both structure and flexibility) and assures transfer of the 60 SCH in the degree plus credit for completion to the Board of Regents’ required general education block at any public university.
ASLT = An academic program (60 credit hours) that follows a prescribed curriculum (providing both structure and flexibility) and assures transfer of the 60 SCH in the degree plus credit for completion to the Board of Regents’ required general education block at any public university.
Certificates, technical diplomas, and degrees earned are recorded on the transcript upon verification of award requirements. Printed awards are issued only when an applicant applies for graduation. Associate degrees have general education requirements (GERs). Refer to Appendix E for approved general education courses.
Listing of a program does not necessarily mean that enrollment is accepted every semester. Program availability varies and start dates are often determined by the program coordinator. If no information is given in the program description, students should contact the department or Enrollment Services to determine when the program is to be offered.
