As a result, BTC has a versatile Individualized Technical Studies Degree which complements industry needs, enabling students interested in pursuing an Associate Degree to create a unique, individualized program. This specialized program of study combines the skills taught in two or more existing BTC programs, and is designed in cooperation with an occupational advisor from the target industry and an academic advisor from BTC. Students achieve their career goals by acquiring skills and knowledge in an Associate Degree program tailored to meet their specific employment needs.
