Why Choose Technical Study?

The Associate of Technical Study degree uses courses from existing two-year technical programs along with the Wright state core courses to fulfill a unique educational need. This program is intended to be flexible, allowing you to design a program that fits your career goals and interests. You will develop, with the guidance of a designated academic advisor, an individualized technical program.  This individualized program must establish an educational goal and include a concentration of courses required to accomplish that goal.

The flexibility and freedom of this program makes it a good fit for adult and returning college students who may be unsure what degree program to choose. Transfer students or students interested in switching majors will find a way to finish their degree and graduate quickly.
