Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.)
This degree provides a more limited study of the history, culture, and language of the Anishinaabeg and of the liberal arts and sciences than is possible through the Associate in Arts degree. In exchange, the Associate in Applied Science degree provides opportunities for a student to begin a more in-depth study in one subject area. Students who elect this option are not primarily interested in transferring to a four-year degree program but instead, wish to enter the job market upon completion of an A.A.S. degree and Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification.
Requirements
The Law Enforcement courses offered by Leech Lake Tribal College apply to P.O.S.T. Board Certification. However, all Law Enforcement students must also complete skills courses, which are not presently offered by Leech Lake Tribal College. At this time, Leech Lake Tribal College has an agreement with Hibbing Community College regarding the transfer of all Law Enforcement credits for future attendance in the Skills courses.
Please note that the skills courses are required before students are eligible to sit for the
P.O.S.T. Board Examination.
