Total required credits for program - 67
This program is unique because it was designed as a template in which to incorporate technical/professional training within the framework of an associate’s degree. This program was created to expand Lyndon’s ability “to prepare every student.” Specifically, this associate’s program responds to Lyndon’s Strategic Plan to serve the workforce education needs of the NEK. This program also responds to the VSC strategic plan, specifically providing workforce education for our regional community and the state.
The degree is designed to meet the educational needs in multiple technical/professional fields, e.g., Computer Numerical Control (CNC) training, medical records, banking, etc. The degree requires 28 credits of General Education, electives, and a flexible number of professional credits (depending on the scope of the professional training required by the organization/technical area). In this degree, the college partners with different organizations, e.g., VTC, VMEC, North Country Career Center, St. Johnsbury Academy, American Banking Association, etc. These organizations provide the technical/professional training, which is independently evaluated to ensure that college-level learning outcomes are met. Thus, the professional education/training components will not be delivered through standard coursework at Lyndon.
