There is high demand for professionals who are trained in such fields as telecommunications, banking, construction, medical services, and mechanics; and a high demand for professionals who can teach these skills to others.
To meet this demand, the APU RANA Program and the Alaska Vocational Technical Center (AVTEC) have formed a partnership to offer an A.A. in Career and Technical Education.
The A.A. in Career and Technical Education is specifically designed for individuals who seek to become or already are vocational educators. Graduates of this degree program will be prepared to serve as program coordinators and technical educators for regional vocational centers across Alaska.
This program is delivered via distance education, with brief residencies at Anchorage or Seward.
The A.A. Degree is comprised of :
- General University Requirements (GURs), delivered through RANA
- Major courses focused on career and technical education, delivered through AVTEC
- A minimum of 64 credits
Students can earn the A.A. while living and working in any Alaskan community.
