Why General Technology?
What Our Students are Saying
Brennan Mecham
General Technology AAS
“I’d never heard of a stackable program before. I always thought that when getting an associate’s degree, or any degree for that matter, that you needed to take classes specific to that degree. I never knew you could combine a technical certificate to work toward an associate’s or bachelor’s degree. I think it’s really beneficial to be able to do that, not only to progress in your degree, but to also feel like your past experience and education is worth something. Some degrees are so rigid and unforgiving when it comes to including credits from other institutions, but this degree is very flexible and appeals to your individual situation really well.”

"After two years as a computer science student, I realized I enjoyed troubleshooting computers more than coding. Additionally, since I already had the 900-hour certificate to transfer, I saw it as a way to save time taking generals at USU.For my career, the AAS was a stepping stone. I also completed the BS for Technology Systems: Information and Computer Tech. Having the BS and a government secret clearance is what helped me get my current job.”
