PROFESSIONAL STUDIES DEGREES AT RCC Why Should I Enroll in Professional Studies? RCC’s Professional Studies programs are an excellent choice for those who wish to enter the workforce immediately. The AAS degree and certificate programs are designed to give students a broad-based knowledge of coursework and practical training needed for careers in fields with expanding markets. The automotive industry has become highly technical in order to meet governmental safety and environmental regulations, creating a demand for well-trained, high-level technicians. The Automotive Technology degree trains students on late model and future vehicle technology and prepares them for work as automotive technicians in privately owned businesses and large automotive companies. Hospitality and Tourism prepares students for careers in the fields of culinary arts, restaurant management, hotel management, and travel and tourism. RCC offers hands-on culinary courses in its state-of-the-art kitchen lab, which features restaurant-quality equipment. Paralegal Studies prepares students for careers in the legal industry, working under the supervision of attorneys. Examples of some paralegal responsibilities include interviewing clients and witnesses, preparing legal documents, assisting at trials, and performing legal research.
