3. The evolution of the BSIT…
ECU has brought back life to the AAS degree. It is no longer terminal.
ECU provides a continuous road way for AAS graduates to BS completion needed for professional development
ECU Department of Technology Systems is committed to the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) partnership and economic development

4. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology
Specifically designed for AAS transfer
Coordination with over 100 AAS programs in NCCCS
Flexible: Block technical transfer credit for approved AAS degrees
Adaptable: Integration with emerging fields (e.g. bioprocess manufacturing)
College goal in bioprocess education: work force and skill development at multiple levels and career pathways
Comprehensive workforce development strategy: Span from operations and support groups to engineering
Supporting needs of non traditional (adult learners currently in the work force) and traditional students.
