Press release from Dakota County Technical College:

March 2, 2021

60-credit A.A.S. degree can be completed in 18 months or less

Dakota County Technical College is now offering a path to complete the Business Management Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in 18 months or less via accelerated FastTrack options. Nimble scheduling opportunities also provide the means to quickly finish the program’s three diplomas and four certificates.

Scott Gunderson, MPNA, CM, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, and Harold Torrence, EdD, are the business management instructors who designed the new FastTrack schedule for their program.

“Due to the obligations and responsibilities of work and family life, our students may need to earn a degree and get a high-quality education as rapidly as possible,” Scott said. “With FastTrack, our students can customize their course schedules in ways that makes sense for their academic, career and life goals.”

Harold reported that FastTrack options are also available for three other degree programs at DCTC:

“The accelerated track is intensely rigorous for some students,” Harold said. “Set yourself up for success by talking with your academic advisor to determine which FastTrack option is best for you. You may also choose to attend DCTC part-time at your own pace if that approach is a better fit for your overall schedule.”
