Associate of Individualized Studies Degree

The associate of individualized studies degree (AIS) at Shawnee State University allows you to formulate your own individualized program of study based upon specific criteria. The goal of this degree is to permit the student, under the guidance of faculty advisors, to combine selected courses in academic and/or technical areas that may not meet the degree requirements for Shawnee State’s associate of arts, associate of science, associate of applied science, or associate of applied business degrees.

The following conditions must be met for completion of the degree: 1) a total of 60 semester hours of 100-level or above coursework with a minimum grade point average of 2.00; 2) a minimum of two areas of concentration with at least 14 semester hours in each; 3) a set of general education requirements based upon specific criteria; and 4) completion of a set of required hours of credit after admission to the program.

For specific details and application forms for the program, contact the dean’s office in the College of Arts and Sciences or the dean’s office in the College of Professional Studies.
