Jim Wenderoth, Chair
The Department of Applied Arts and
Sciences provides instruction in subject
matter related to occupational programs
which includes communication,
mathematics, social science, and science.
A core of these related subjects must be
completed prior to graduation and is
included with each program's scope and
sequence. The department also provides
developmental course work in writing
and mathematics to aid students in
obtaining the prerequisite skills
necessary for success in required course
work.
The Academic Support Center (ASC)
is staffed and directed by the Department
and offers a wide range of services
including study skills training, tutoring,
academic and career advising, study and
speed-reading, and resource information
designed to increase the retention and
success rate of students enrolled in the
College of Technology.
The Department also offers the Step
Ahead program. Its purpose is to
simulate classes and prepare students
academically and mentally for their
college experience before actual college
enrollment. Students acquire a realistic
view of what it takes to be successful in
college and obtain assistance in making
academic and personal adjustments
before beginning a certificate or degree
program. At the completion of the
program, recommendations are given
regarding the direction students should
follow to achieve their career
aspirations.
For additional details regarding either
the Academic Support Center or the Step
Ahead programs, call 406-243-7825 or
