Short Description
These classes lead to an Associate of Science (AS) degree in Science, which is designed to allow graduates to transfer to a four-year college or university and pursue a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Depending on where students plan to transfer, they may be better served by following this more general approach, or by following a more program-specific transfer pattern (such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.). Students should meet with a transfer advisor to select a program of study best suited to the institution to which they intend to transfer as early as possible.
