Program Description
This program is designed for students transferring to a four-year school to complete their BS degree. The Associate of Science (AS) Degree provides students with both breadth and depth of knowledge in Science and Math that prepares them for transfer into a Bachelor's degree program at a four-year college or university. Careers typically require a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. Students may tailor this General Associate of Science (AS) Degree to prepare for specific transfer options. All official documents and diplomas issued by the college will only indicate the awarding of an Associate of Science Degree.
