CRITERIA FOR ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS<br />
The successful completion of a catalog program of study offered by a <strong>Maine</strong> <strong>Community</strong> College System<br />
college entitles the student to a certificate or associate degree as appropriate to the curriculum (MCCS<br />
POLICY 302). The basic criteria, in part, for the award of these credentials are described below. In all<br />
instances, care must be taken to ensure compliance with accreditation st<strong>and</strong>ards which includes the<br />
achievement of a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.<br />
Certificate: A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of a prescribed program of vocational<br />
<strong>and</strong>/or technical courses that leads to an occupational skill. Certificates may also be considered as the<br />
fi rst year of an associate degree program <strong>and</strong>, if so, must meet the appropriate academic requirements.<br />
Associate in Applied Science: An Associate in Applied Science credential is awarded upon the successful<br />
completion of a program of studies designed for employment in a specific occupation. The curriculum for<br />
such programs may offer some opportunity for transfer into a baccalaureate program.<br />
Associate in Science: An Associate in Science credential is awarded upon successful completion of a<br />
program designed primarily to prepare students to transfer to an upper division baccalaureate program.<br />
The curriculum for such programs shall also provide employment skills.<br />
Associate in Arts: An Associate in Arts credential is awarded upon the successful completion of a program<br />
designed to prepare students to transfer to an upper division baccalaureate program. Curriculum for such<br />
programs is built on the foundation of liberal studies with considerable flexibility in selecting str<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
electives to develop depth in a prerequisite knowledge required for further study at the baccalaureate<br />
level.<br />
