The objective of the Associate of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (ASIS) degree program is to prepare students for career advancement in a variety of fields with the knowledge, communication skills, critical thinking, and technical competencies required in the modern workplace.

If you are interested in working with children or adolescents, or perhaps are considering a teaching certificate in the future, the ASIS degree's Educational Paraprofessional emphasis area will provide you with the opportunity to pursue these options. The ASIS accommodates students whose needs are satisfied by an associate's degree as well as those who may wish to pursue study beyond the associate's degree level. For those students that have a particular interest in working with children in an educational setting, the Educational Paraprofessional emphasis area provides specific preparation in this field.

Who Should Take This Program
This program is for those who need an associate's degree to move their careers ahead but haven't found a degree program that fits their needs. This program is also an option for students who have already earned college-equivalent credit from a regionally or nationally accredited college and want to earn an associate's degree.

What are the Career Opportunities?
An associate's degree in interdisciplinary studies provides graduates with the option of seeking entry-level employment in a variety of fields, depending on the courses chosen to complete the interdisciplinary open concentration.
