Hands-on education is at the center of every major in the School of Applied Technology at Alfred State College (ASC). Students learn these real-world skills and are prepared to join the 98 percent of ASC students who are employed or continuing their education. This applied learning approach has led to amazing honors for 2023 from many ranking experts.
“I like being hands-on. We have lectures and go through the basics, and we talk through everything that we will experience in the real world. Getting hands-on you learn more, experience it, and you know exactly what is going to happen. When I go into the industry, I will already have done it.”
