This pathway is for those students who anticipate pursuing baccalaureate degrees in STEM areas. In addition to the specific sciences (e.g. biology, chemistry, physics) and mathematics, this pathway prepares students to pursue professions in technology or engineering.
Technology and Engineering cover a broad range of careers, ranging from healthcare to electronics, from work in research laboratories to work in information technology. The flexibility of the Associate of Arts degree allows 19 elective credits. Up to sixteen of those credits can be from occupational and/or professional courses; allowing a student interested in STEM to augment their studies with courses from our many technical programs at Northland, particularly those in healthcare, computer networking, transportation, architecture, and/or construction.
Counselors are available in the Career Center to assist with career advising, job search resources, employer connections, occupational descriptions, employment outlook, earnings, education/training requirements and sources.
Northland offers a multitude of opportunities, whether you're beginning your degree or returning to college. We're affordable, convenient, and flexible. At Northland, you can become anything.
Northland Community & Technical College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
If you spend two years at Northland completing the 60-credit AA degree, and transfer to a Minnesota state college or university, you will have satisfied the first two years of a four-year degree program. Additionally, your two years at Northland will cost approximately one third less than if you completed them at a four-year Minnesota state college or university. The transfer option is an economical choice for many students.
