Students may enroll in School of Technology programs on a full-time or part-time basis. Some courses may be available through distance
learning. Most courses in career programs are sequential, so students are strongly encouraged to enroll in courses in their programs as
soon as they are eligible to do so and to carefully read and follow course
prerequisites.
The Bachelor of
Applied Science degree (B.A.S.) offers career advancement opportunities to
people who have earned the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.), the Associate
of Applied Technology (A.A.T.), or other career associate degrees. Students who have earned career associate
degrees at Clayton State University or at other regionally
accredited institutions can bridge smoothly into the B.A.S. program with little
or no loss of credit. To complete the
B.A.S. at Clayton State, students will take additional general education
classes and advanced courses appropriate to their fields and career
interests. The B.A.S. can be earned in
four semesters of full‑time study, or students can attend part-time. Many courses will be offered by distance
learning.
The courses in
the B.A.S. program prepare graduates to move into supervisory positions in
businesses, retail environments, plants, shops and corporate settings. Courses in management, marketing, and accounting
help students blend their specific expertise with new managerial skills. The
curriculum, which includes experiential learning opportunities, covers vital
topics such as management, marketing, personnel relations, professionalism, and
quality control.
ADMISSION TO B.
A. S. PROGRAMS
Students who
wish to pursue a Bachelor of Applied Science with a major in Technology
Management or Administrative Management must be admitted to Clayton State University, declare a major, and hold an appropriate career
associate degree (e.g., A.A.S., or A.A.T.)
from an institution regionally accredited to grant associate degrees.
Career associate
degrees, sometimes called applied degrees, are designed to prepare the graduate
for immediate employment in the field of the degree. The B.A.S. is not appropriate for students who hold associate
degrees (usually A.A. or A. S.) that are designed to constitute the first two
years of a B.A., B.S., B.B.A. or other traditional bachelor’s degrees. A student who wishes to pursue the B.A.S.
but who has not yet completed a career associate degree must finish the
associate degree at Clayton State University or another regionally accredited institution before
applying for entry to a B.A.S. major.
Students
entering a B.A.S. major will take benchmark assessments to determine their
readiness for upper division work in writing and other areas. Depending on the results of these
assessments, students may be recommended or required to undertake work to
improve their performance.
Special Graduation Requirements for B.A.S. Majors
1. Writing
Assessment. To graduate with a School of Technology B.A.S. degree, students
must pass the B.A.S. writing assessment.
The assessment is normally administered in OFFC 3110 and TECH 3110. Students who fail to pass the assessment
administered in one of these classes are required
to enroll in WLAB 2999, Writing Laboratory II, during their next semester of
attendance. Students are required to
enroll in WLAB 2999 each semester of attendance until they have passed the official
writing assessment by earning a grade of C
or better in the course. Students who
are required to take WLAB 2999 but neglect to do so are subject to having their
registration in other courses cancelled.
2. Residency. Regular University baccalaureate-level
requirements require 30 hours in residency including at least 21 in upper
division hours counted toward program requirements other than free
electives. Although the other nine
hours do not have to be upper division for B.A.S. students, those nine hours do
have to be in courses that are counted toward program requirements other than
free electives.
3. Upper
Division Grades. B.A.S. students must earn a grade of C or better (or K) in all
upper division courses (numbered 3000 or higher) used to meet program
requirements.
4. Career
Associate Degree. Since holding a career associate degree
(A.A.S., A.A.T., etc.) is required for admission to the B.A.S. program, a
student may not receive an A.A.S. and B.A.S. in the same semester.
NOTE: B.A.S. students are not subject to the requirements of the College Preparatory Curriculum but are subject to the Regents’ Test. See the Graduation Requirements chapter of this catalog.

Career associate
degrees usually include 12-21 semester credit hours of general education work
that is equivalent to Areas A-E courses in the Core Curriculum of the
University System of Georgia. (Some
career programs, especially those at University System two-year colleges,
contain more than 21 such hours.) Clayton State University
will accept Areas A-E equivalent hours from transferring students and apply
them to the B.A.S. according to University System guidelines even if the
courses do not match those in the Clayton State University core for native students. A typical B.A.S. student transferring to
Clayton State will take 12-21 hours of general education at the associate‑degree-granting
institution and an additional 21-30 hours at Clayton State University. Additionally, transfer of Area A-E is subject to the following
conditions:
a. After hours from the career associate degree
and other previous college‑level work are applied to Areas A-E, B.A.S.
students will be expected to complete all remaining elements of Areas A-E in
order to total 42 semester credit hours.
The 42 hours must include two English composition courses (with a C or better in ENGL 1101), Mathematics
Modeling (or higher), and a seven- or eight‑hour science sequence with laboratory. Once a student has been admitted to Clayton State University,
hours taken to complete the Core must be in accordance with the Clayton State University Core Curriculum.
b. Courses that are not core‑curriculum
equivalent (e.g., Citizenship, Business English, and math lower than
Mathematical Modeling or College Algebra) will not count toward Areas A-E.
c. In some cases,
courses transferred are eligible for inclusion either in the block of career
courses for the associate degree or in Areas A-E of the Core Curriculum. When a student is admitted to the B.A.S.
program, the courses are applied as is most appropriate to his or her program
of study. Students should be aware that
a course cannot be counted in two places (e.g., Introduction to General
Psychology might be eligible in either Area E or the career block, but it can
be counted in only one place.)
d. Students who do not fulfill the legislative
requirement for the study of Georgia and U. S. history and constitution by
courses in Area E must meet the requirement by examination or other course
work.
e. Transfer students may be required to provide
official course descriptions, syllabi, or other documentation of course content
to facilitate determination of equivalency.
NOTES ON BLOCK
CREDIT FOR CAREER COURSES
Typically,
career associate degrees include approximately 35-45 semester credit hours (or
equivalent) of career-related courses in addition to general education
(Areas A-E). Clayton State University will award up to 38
hours of transfer credit for the career block subject to the following
considerations:
a. Students whose career associate degrees
include fewer than 38 hours of
program specific courses will need to make up the difference with
additional program related lower division courses at Clayton State University. (A maximum of 38 hours will be applied to
the career block regardless of the number of hours actually taken.)
b. English courses lower than Business English
and mathematics courses lower than Applied Technical Math (or equivalent) will not count in the 38-hour career core.
c. Sometimes the block of career courses
includes courses that are also eligible to count in Areas A-E. Students should be aware that such courses
cannot be counted in two places, so if a course originally taken for the career
block is applied to Areas A-E, then the student may be required to take
additional career block work to equal 38.
(See item c. in Notes on Areas A-E.)
d. For transfer students, portions of the career
block may be entered on the transcript as a block rather than on a course‑by‑course
basis.
e. Transfer students may be required to provide
official course descriptions or other documentation of course content to
facilitate determination of equivalency.
TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT
(B.A.S.)
The Bachelor of Applied
Science in Technology Management provides career advancement opportunities for
individuals employed (or seeking employment) in a wide variety of plant, shop,

The associate
degree and certificate programs in this field are administered by the
department of Aviation Maintenance Technology, which is located at the
satellite campus on Tara Boulevard in Jonesboro.
Clayton State University offers two distinct types of Aviation Maintenance
Technology degree programs for individuals who wish to prepare for the FAA
Airframe and/or Power plant (A & P) rating examinations and pursue degree
programs which require that knowledge and skill. In addition, the department offers certificates in Powerplant and
airframe which allow students to be prepared for employment more quickly.
Associate degree
graduates of the AVMT program are eligible to enter the B.A.S. program in
Technology Management at Clayton State University. Contact the department head for information
about aviation-related baccalaureate institutions.

EMPHASIS: FAA
Part 147
This program,
which is designed to prepare students for a career in aviation and aerospace
vehicle maintenance, presents a carefully selected blend of theory and
practical applications. After
successfully completing the required courses for either the airframe or the Power plant
rating, a student must score a minimum of 80% on an exit assessment
administered by the Department of Aviation Maintenance Technology. A graduate of the program may make
application to take the Federal Aviation Administration’s computer, oral and
practical test battery for certification as an aircraft technician. Successful completion of all the required
tests results in the issuance of an FAA Technician Certificate with the
airframe and/or Power plant rating, as appropriate.
The Aviation
Maintenance Program may be limited based on available lab space. If selection is necessary it will be based
on SAT and ACT scores, college course grades, high school course grades,
relevant work experience, and other qualifications relating to academic and
professional potential. Interviews may
be required.
There is no provision for absence in any
of the Aviation Maintenance Technology courses. Eligibility for FAA testing is contingent upon completion of the
entire 1900 clock hours of scheduled instruction, and absence for any reason
may result in the student being dropped from the course. In bona fide emergencies, (death in family
or personal illness) the instruction missed may, at the discretion of the
faculty member, be made up. Make-up
work is scheduled at the convenience of the instructor and should be
coordinated in advance when an absence is anticipated.
Students may
receive advanced-standing credit for previous AVMT course work only if
they were enrolled at an FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance Technician School
that holds regional accreditation status.
In addition, this credit is granted only if a transcript is provided at
the time of enrollment and only if that credit was earned during Clayton State University’s most recent academic year. All other applications for transfer or
advanced-standing credit may require a competency test, including
practical skill demonstration, and may require a fee.

The
School of Technology offers two programs in drafting and design: an Associate
of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Drafting and Design Technology and a certificate
program in drafting that leads to the A.A.S.
Associate Degree in Drafting and Design Technology (A.A.S.)
The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.)
in Drafting and Design Technology prepares students for drafting and design
careers in a variety of fields. In this
program, students learn such things as developing drawings of residential
buildings that are used in the construction process. They also study such topics as building codes, zoning laws,
safety regulations, building materials, surveying procedures, and electrical
and mechanical systems. This program also
includes instruction on how to translate ideas, rough sketches, and
specifications developed by engineers and designers into working drawings. In this process, students learn about basic
drafting practices.

MARKETING AND MERCHANDISING TECHNOLOGY
Associate
of Applied Science Degree
The Marketing
and Merchandising Technology program presents many exciting career
opportunities to people with above-average communications, problem solving, and
social skills, including teamwork. A
person may begin this program at the Certificate or the Associate of Applied
Science (A.A.S.) level.
Courses in
general education and related business areas provide the back ground for an
emphasis on basic marketing skills and practical applications necessary for
successful performance and career advancement.
Important Note: The Marketing and
Merchandising Technology Program (certificate and A.A.S.) should not be
confused with the Marketing major under the B.B.A. offered by the School of
Business. The Marketing and
Merchandising program is more applied in nature stressing a “hands on” approach
that is less theoretical and quantitative than the B.B.A. The certificate and associate degree in
Marketing and Merchandising are applied technical programs designed for
individuals who expect to go directly into the work force in retail and
services marketing and merchandising following one or two-year currcicula. Clayton State University offers this program in cooperation with
the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education (DTAE) under the
general heading of Marketing Management Technology.
Except for Core
Curriculum courses in Area A-E, courses taken for the Marketing and
Merchandising Technology program will not
count toward a B.B.A. (The Marketing and Merchandising curriculum can apply
toward the Bachelor of Applied Science [B.A.S.] degree as part of the “career

enhance students' employment and advancement opportunities in office-related
fields.
·
The Administrative Assistant track prepares students for positions as
administrative assistants or office managers in various industries. Courses in the Office Assistant and Office
Technology certificate programs may apply toward the A.A.S. degree program.
·
