*See recommended electives for your intended major. Students should meet with the discipline coordinator to plan and select appropriate electives.

**A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101 course, Transitioning to College, goes into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college in the spring 2010 semester (meaning you have not previously successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101 during your first semester at CCBC, possibly increasing the minimum number of credits required for the degree to 62 credits. PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to college and completed one or more credit courses successfully at CCBC in the fall 2009 semester, you are ENCOURAGED but NOT REQUIRED to take ACDV 101 in the spring 2010 semester.

Transfer Pattern Description:

The A.S. degree program recognizes mastery in mathematics and/or science and is intended for transfer to Bachelor of Science programs at four-year institutions. Graduates of the A.S. degree program will be able to:

  • Recognize characteristics of lifelong learning: independent thinking, self-discipline, and ethical behavior

  •  Demonstrate the technological skills needed to advance academic pursuits at a senior institution

  •  Apply a set of analytical and problem-solving skills to real-world situations

  •  Demonstrate interpersonal skills that reflect an understanding of diversity and the need for teamwork

  •  Communicate information to a variety of audiences using appropriate written, spoken, and/or visual methods
