Associate of Applied Science · Program Code: 290 · Credit Hours: 66 · Contact Hours: 66

Associate Dean: Pam Miller

This is a cooperative agreement between North Central and the Great Lakes Boat Building School in Cedarville, Michigan (GLBBS) whereby students who are enrolled in the full time, nine-­month, hands‐on boat-­building program at GLBBS may receive North Central credit for that program toward this associate’s degree. By completing the required North Central courses, plus the GLBBS curriculum, students can earn this Associate of Applied Science in Wooden Boat Building degree to augment their boat-­building skills and improve their marketability. There are a number of opportunities in the national boat building and boat restoration marketplaces to which this partnership will help provide access. The GLBBS program includes courses in woodworking, traditional and composite wooden boat building, basic design, yacht joinery, and boat repair and restoration. Since the GLBBS program is full time, most students choose to enroll in the North Central classes either before or after completing the hands-­on program. Students wishing to apply for federal financial aid should consult with North Central’s Financial Aid office (231-348-6698) before enrolling.

More information on GLBBS, including a description of the nine-­month program, can be found at www.greatlakesboatbuilding.org.
