Certificate Programs

Certificate programs are of a series of courses in a specialized field which prepare the student for entry level occupations. They have few general education requirements and are designed to be completed in less than two years. Many certificate programs contain the core courses of the associate in applied science degree program in the same field, allowing the student to continue with additional study and earn an A.A.S. degree.

Career Degree (A.A.S.) Programs

Career Degrees (Associate in Applied Science) are designed as a career program for students seeking specialized education which prepares them to enter or to advance in employment. These programs are not designed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The programs of study have been developed by the SVCC faculty with the assistance of local citizens serving on occupational workforce councils and with the approval of personnel from state agencies.

Transfer Degree (A.A./A.S.) Programs

Transfer Degrees (Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering Science, and Associate in Fine Arts) are for students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university for a baccalaureate degree. These programs are built around general education classes designed to transfer to a four-year college or university. SVCC participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), which ensures that approved courses will transfer to other participating colleges and universities.
