Program Description
The Professional Technical Education Associate in Applied Sciences Transfer degree will provide a structured degree pathway in education for post-secondary professional-technical educators, providing them with an educational continuum toward a baccalaureate in education. The degree structure—designed around the Washington State Skill Standards for Professional-Technical College and Customized Trainers—will provide leadership and technical skills beyond those required for professional-technical certification.

The curriculum for this program is entirely competency based, with skills and their associated tasks mirroring industry and Skill Standards requirements. The curriculum is designed as a series of discreet extended learning courses, thusly, is not offered as a full-time immersion program. Students are rated according to their mastery of these skills/tasks at predetermined industry standards of performance.

This program is designed specifically for post-secondary professional-technical educators who are employed on a 50 percent or greater basis. Approval of the Dean overseeing the education courses is required.

Program Goal: The program will provide students with a blend of academic, professional-technical teaching, and experiential learning opportunities needed to be an effective faculty member and professional-technical teacher.
