A one-year Certificate of Achievement Program is typically an abbreviated form of a corresponding two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. The shorter Certificate Program prepares students for specific job skills quickly.

Most of the Certificate Program requirements include:

• Six semester hours of English/Communications (three credits in English are required by NSHE Board of Regents policy)
• A 1-3 credit course in human relations
• Demonstration of computing skills
• Completion of a mathematics course: TA 108B, MATH 116, MATH 120, MATH 126, or higher
• A minimum 2.0 grade point average
