Upgrading a Diploma to an AAS Degree

MTI may grant the AAS degree to students who have received a diploma in a two-year program from MTI within the last seven years and who have subsequently completed the technical and AAS requirements in their respective field. The following guidelines will be used to determine an applicant’s eligibility to receive the AAS degree:

  1. Courses counted toward the degree shall have been taken within the seven years prior to granting the degree, or there is satisfactory evidence that the applicant’s respective knowledge and skills fulfill current standards and requirements.
  2. The respective department(s) shall review an applicant’s transcript and recommend approval for the AAS degree.
  3. The student has met the additional general education requirements necessary to earn an AAS degree for a chosen major.
  4. Students must complete a Request to Graduate form.

The student will be charged a $50 records processing fee. Please note: At least 75% of the general education courses required for the degree upgrade must be transcribed credit and not life experience.
