Program Information
The Applied Business and Industrial Technology degree program is aimed at working supervisors, journeymen, paraprofessionals, or similar individuals who need a degree for career advancement, career changes, or personal satisfaction. It enables qualified people to earn up to 30 college credits for prior learning from on-the-job training, continuing education, apprenticeships, military training, professional development programs, or work experience.
Working with an experienced IWCC instructor, each person in the program is guided to design an individualized program of study that leads to completion of the degree. The courses involved in completing the degree are targeted on the students' career needs and personal goals.
Articulation/Transfer Opportunities
While many four year institutions may recognize this degree program, and credit you for courses taken therein, it is not the intent of Iowa Western to imply transferability. We do have an excellent relationship with Bellevue University, in Bellevue, NE; that institution accepts this degree in full and starts IWCC graduates with junior standing.
