The occupational goal is to develop skills and certification as an Amazon Certified Cloud Practitioner.

(The Certified Solutions Architect Associate requires one year and the Professional certification requires two years performing the role of a Solutions Architect, which I interpret as employment, not student/academic performance. The CCP has no role requirements.

The degree serves to meet students' labor market and educational needs and professionals seeking employment in government, education, and private businesses. The Associate of Science Degree is an integral part of preparing entry-level positions in government, education, or private business. There are no requested faculty or facilities for this program, as the program courses are currently offered through the Computer and Office Studies Department.
