General Technology Major A.A.S.

Business Technology Major 
Associate of Applied Science Degree

Motlow State Community College offers a General Technology major designed specifically for Tennessee Technology Center (TTC) students. This career option provides the student with the opportunity to earn college credit for successfully completing a Tennessee Technology Center (TTC) diploma or certificate program. Students may seek college credit for prior learning after completing a diploma or certificate program at the Shelbyville, Murfreesboro, McMinnville, or any TTC.

Students seeking to articulate credit for a TTC diploma or certificate, and wishing to pursue this program of study, must satisfy the following requirements:

1. The student must meet all regular admission requirements of Motlow State Community College (MSCC) as described in the Motlow Catalog/Student Handbook.
2. In addition to providing an official transcript to the Office of Admissions and Records as part of the MSCC enrollment process, the student must also provide the Professional Studies advisor in the Division of Basic and Applied Science and Business a copy of his/her TTC transcript and diploma/certificate.
3. The student who is admitted to degree admission status must meet Developmental Studies Program (DSP) requirements. Students are required to complete all developmental courses as indicated by the COMPASS test.
4. The student pursuing articulated credit in this concentration must have successfully completed a Tennessee Technology Center diploma or certificate program.
5. The student must successfully complete 15 semester hours of credit in the General Technology Concentration at Motlow State Community College (excluding DSP hours—DSP courses earn institutional credit, but cannot be used to meet any program degree requirements) before being awarded any credit for prior learning at a Tennessee Technology Center. The credit awarded for a Tennessee Technology Center diploma or certificate program will be designated on the transcript, but will not count in the calculation of the student’s grade point average. (Special Note: The student must contact the General Technology Major advisor in the Business and Technology Department in order to verify the earned credit being articulated and request the credit be included on his/her transcript.)

Upon successful completion of the General Technology Major, the student will be awarded the Associate of Applied Science degree.
