Rose State College offers two types of degree programs: the four-year college or university parallel and the technical. University parallel provides students with the first two years of course work toward a baccalaureate degree and culminates in the Associate in Arts or Associate in Science. Technical programs prepare students for immediate job entry, facilitate advancement in current employment, or train for new areas. The degree is titled the Associate in Applied Science. Many of the technical areas also include one year certificates.
