Fall is just around the corner—ushering in cooler weather, new backpacks, and, at Collin College, new degree programs. The college is offering new associate of applied science degree programs pending approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC).
Students can now earn degrees in Supply Chain Management and Commercial Photography. Soon students will also be able to earn degrees in Welding, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and Diagnostic Medical Sonography, all also pending approval by SACSCOC.
