(General)
Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.)
The Associate in Applied Science Degree is a technical degree designed to prepare the student in a specific occupational area. Persons receiving the A.A.S. normally enter directly into employment in the area of specialization. The A.A.S. is a terminal degree; therefore, it is not designed to transfer to a four-year institution. In most cases, students to whom transfer is important should obtain assurance in advance from the institution to which they wish to transfer.
The A.A.S. degree requires successful completion of one of the prescribed curricula that appear on the following pages. This will include the completion of the number of hours specified in that curriculum with a minimum grade point average of 2.00.
All candidates for a degree taken within the Buisness and Technical Division must have the following requirements: (1) A minimum grade point average of 2.0 in all courses listed under the major requirements; (2) in addition to meeting the first requirement, students majoring in Business Administration, Business Enterprise, and Office Technology must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 in the business core (AC21003 Principles of Accounting I, BU 11013 Legal Environment of Business, BU 11023 Decision Strategies, CS 21003 Spreadsheet Applications, and OT 21003 Business Communications).
The last 15 hours of regular course work (excludes credit by examination, independent study, and CLEP credit) must be completed at the College unless a student has completed 30 or more credit hours at Arkansas Northeastern College. In that case, an exception may be granted upon the recommendation of the Petitions Committee and the approval of the Vice President of Instruction.
Students who plan to complete graduation requirements at the end of any given semester must file an application for graduation with the Registrar’s Office no later than the end of the sixth week of that semester.
Note: A minimum of 15 additional hours of specified course work must be completed for a student to receive a second Associate degree. The 15 hours must be selected from the major requirements for the second degree and be approved by the appropriate Dean.
* Note: Students must make a “C” or better in English Composition I, English Composition II, and College Algebra to receive an Associate in Applied Science Degree from ANC.

Associate of Applied Science Degree
This program is designed for students who intend to pursue careers in the aviation maintenance industry. The general education components prepare students to pursue baccalaureate studies, and advance to positions of leadership in the industry. Students who successfully complete this program will be eligible to take the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification exams for Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) Mechanics. This program is approved by the FAA, which requires that every single hour of instruction be given to each student. Because of this requirement and the vital importance of mechanical performance, class attendance is an absolute must to remain in good standing in the program. Failure to attend the classes in accordance with instructor-established guidelines will result in dismissal from the program. The program is divided into four separate segments: general education, general aviation, airframe, and powerplant. The general education core may be taken at any time before, during, or after the other segments are taken, depending on scheduling preferences. The remaining segments are taken sequentially in an intensive combination of lecture and laboratory learning. Students may be required to attend classes as many as 40 clock hours per week. Consult with your advisor each semester to determine an appropriate schedule.

Nursing
Arkansas Northeastern College offers an Associate in Applied Science Degree in
Nursing. The registered nursing program is approved by the Arkansas State Board
of Nursing and accredited by the National League For Nursing Accrediting
Commission (NLNAC). One traditional class is admitted yearly in the fall
semester and the LPN to RN Accelerated Option is admitted in January of the
Spring Semester each year. Throughout the program, general education courses and
nursing courses are combined with client care in clinical settings
in hospitals and health care agencies in the area. The nursing courses integrate
application of the nursing process, communication skills, nutrition,
pharmacology, and drug administration in care of clients. Legal/ethical
responsibilities and current trends in health care are also integrated. The
nursing courses are competency-based, and students are responsible for achieving
certain competencies under specified conditions. Students will be required to
complete standardized tests throughout nursing curriculum and to make acceptable
scores on such examinations to progress through curriculum. In the last semester
of the
nursing curriculum, students will be required to make a satisfactory score on a
comprehensive exam in order to obtain approval for taking the licensure exam.
Upon successful completion of the program, the student is granted the Associate
in Applied Science Degree and may be eligible to take the National Council
Licensure Examination for licensure as a Registered Nurse. Persons convicted of
a crime may not be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN for licensure. See the program
director for details.
Admission to Arkansas Northeastern College is not automatic admission to the
nursing program. The department has a selective admission policy, and students
should contact the Nursing Department concerning admission and graduation
requirements. Students must score 100 or greater on the PAX-RN Exam and have a
minimum grade point average of 2.5. A grade of “C” or above is required in all
academic courses required for the nursing degree. Refer to Associate Degree
Information Guidelines located on the
Nursing/Allied Health site.
