Academic and Career Programs

Academic and Career Programs

Motlow State Community College offers the following degree programs:  Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Fine Arts (A.F.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), Associate of Science in Teaching (A.S.T.), several Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) and certificate programs.

Academic Programs

Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTP) Associate Degrees
A student who completes all the courses listed for the selected major of a Transfer Pathway will be able to earn an A.A. or A.S. degree from the community college. Whenever the student transfers to a Tennessee public or private college/university, the transcript will certify that the pathway has been followed. The student is guaranteed that all the community college courses taken will be accepted at the college/university and the courses will count toward completion of the particular major. If a community college student transfers to another Tennessee community college, he or she is guaranteed that all courses transfer.

Important Note:
Admission to UT, Knoxville is competitive. For UTK, the Pathways do not guarantee admission. Provided that all other admission criteria are met, individual TICUA institutions may require courses specific to their mission that do not result in additional time spent toward degree completion.

Career & Technical Programs

Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
The A.A.S. program is a two-year degree plan designed for students who want to pursue short-term training so they can quickly enter the workforce.

Certificate

A certificate of credit program enables the college to provide a short-term program in a concentrated area of study as a means to acquire a specific body of knowledge and/or develop specific career skills. Certificate programs offer employment preparation opportunities and the opportunity to upgrade skills for those who are already employed. Courses successfully completed, and the credits earned as part of a certificate program, are acceptable toward an associate degree if the student wishes to continue their educational pursuits. The certificate programs are not designed for transfer to a four-year institution; however, the specific courses and hours completed as part of a certificate program may be used as part of a program of study that is intended for transfer. Certificate programs are available at Motlow in Mechatronics, Early Childhood Education, Emergency Medical Services, Customer Service, and Entrepreneurship.

Some certificates of credit may be eligible for financial aid. Check with the financial aid office to determine your eligibility.
