In general, classes can be used as electives in the student's program of study, with the exceptions of MATH 065 and ENGL118. Preparatory courses are designed to develop skills to ensure student success in follow-on courses in respective MSU curricular areas. High quality instruction and out-of-class support are hallmarks of the College of Technology in Bozeman.

Associate of Applied Science Degrees
The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree is awarded in specific career fields. This degree is designed to prepare students for immediate entry into employment but may be fully or partially transferable to programs at selected four-year institutions.
Aviation
Students completing the AAS in Aviation will have credentials required to pursue a career as a professional pilot. Job opportunities range from high-profile occupations as pilots for a national carrier to less well-known, but in-demand work as pilots for cargo services, air taxis, media aircraft, corporate jets, or spacecraft. Students who combine the AAS with a Bachelor's degree in a related field will be especially competitive in the entry level job market.
Completion of the AAS in Aviation requires that students contract with a flight school recommended by the Aviation Science Advisory Council to complete flight training requirements leading to a Private Pilot license, Commercial Pilot license, and Instrument license.
Upon submission of these licenses the students will receive credit for the following courses:
- AST 142-Private Pilot (50 flight hours) 2 credits
- AST 242-Commercial/Instrument I (75 flight hours) 2 credits
- AST 252-Commercial/Instrument II (125 flight hours) 2 credits
Students may choose to take flight training at any point during their course of study. They may also enter the program having already completed flight training.
Students who have not completed flight training are strongly encouraged to follow a sequence of courses outlined by the Aviation Program Advisor.
Continuing Education
The College of Technology provides non-credit workshops that train and upgrade participants' skills in health, microcomputer management, general education, and technology fields. These courses are offered through the Bozeman Tech Center located in Downtown Bozeman.
Accreditation
MSU-Great Falls College of Technology is accredited through the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
