Associate's Degree Program
The General Motors Automotive Service Educational Program (ASEP) is an associate's degree Automotive Program, combining classroom lecture and laboratory sessions on up-to-date General Motors products with work experience at a General Motors dealership. Students participating in the program must be sponsored by a General Motors dealership.
Rotation System
At Macomb Community College the entire program requires 80 weeks, with 38 weeks spent on the campus and 42 weeks in a General Motors dealership. Each specialized subject is dealt with in the classroom and laboratory and is immediately followed by related work experience in the dealership. This rotation system continues until the program is completed. The schedule for the next ASEP program is listed on a separate sheet.
Sponsorship
Since half of the program is spent at the dealership, it is a requirement for the student to have a sponsoring General Motors dealer. The main responsibility of the dealership is to provide employment for the student during all of the work experience periods. Although it is not a requirement of the program, the student may also work part time at the dealership while attending classes, provided it does not interfere with his/her classroom performance.
Cost
All tuition, fees, and textbook costs are the responsibility of the student. They can refer to the rates applicable to their individual residency on the Program Estimated Costs sheet. Students earn while learning, off-setting some of the expenses involved on a continuing basis.
The sophistication, professionalism, and the competence required now in the Automotive service field require this kind of program.
