AP Wire | 07/04/2004 | Harley Davidson sponsors college degree program: "WICHITA, Kan. - With the backing of Harley-Davidson Inc., Fort Scott Community College will begin offering a degree program this fall that teaches the applied science of motorcycles.
The Milwaukee-based motorcycle manufacturer said it is supporting the formal degree program because it needs people who are trained in both technical and management skills.
The program would be based in Frontenac. Students who finish the program will be able to transfer their credits to Pittsburg State University and earn a bachelor of applied science in technology with a focus on motorcycles.
'We're approaching this as an academic endeavor, in the respect that a student will follow a collegiate schedule,' said Steve Vergara, director of the program. 'Harley has come a long way in their image and the people that ride them.'"
