THE DEGREES The Associate of Science degree is specifically designed for the benefit of students transferring to a four-year university. TSTC offers this degree in the areas of biology, computer science, engineering, math and physics.

Technical programs of study offered at TSTC award the Associate of Applied Science degree. These programs prepare technicians who are in demand in today’s industry to work on a level between engineers and skilled craftsmen.

Skill development programs offered at TSTC award Certificates of Completion. These programs are designed to teach students specific skills needed for entry-level jobs. This is accomplished through specialized training in the particular skills area.

THE REGALIA Every college commencement ceremony reveals the regalia specific to academia. Academic institutions throughout the world have created a wide variety of distinctive dress, color and ceremony to indicate the accomplishments of scholars. American academic regalia developed from English traditions and have been in continuous use in this country since Colonial times.Each institution of higher education in the United States has a well-defined code for identifying different academic degrees by distinctive gowns, hoods and colors. The differences in the regalia seen in the faculty procession represent the variety of institutions from which they are graduates and the different degrees they earned. The associate’s gown has open sleeves and features a special cowl instead of a hood, which distinguishes it from the bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s regalia.
