My Academic Plan
My Academic Plans (MAPs) are designed by faculty and displayed in a semester format showing the fastest path to finishing your certificate or degree. While this is the ideal, you can take courses as your schedule permits. Contact an academic advisor regarding your scheduling needs.
In most cases, the courses you need are available on your selected campus. However, there may be times to complete courses online or travel to another FRCC campus. Location availability is indicated at the time of registration.

The Applied Technology AAS degree requires the completion of at least 60 credits with at least 15 credits completed at FRCC and selected from the Approved Elective List. All courses must be completed with a "C" or better for students to graduate from this program. Please view First Semester below for required courses & recommended elective courses.
