Specializations or special career paths can be defined by the institution without having to establish a formal concentration that appears on the Academic Program Inventory. However, the only way to identify these specializations is to manually type it into “comments” for the transcript.
Conversations with some industry representatives indicate that they rely on the students resume to identify any specializations or special skills. As long as the transcript had courses to support that position there should be no concern. It is rare that an employer would request a transcript from an A.A.S. graduate.
