Science, Associate of Science
These classes lead to an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in Science, which is designed to allow graduates to transfer to a four-year college or university and pursue a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) 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.).
Program objectives
Upon successful completion of this degree, students will be able to:
- demonstrate effective oral, written and/or visual communication skills;
- apply quantitative reasoning skills to interpret and analyze data;
- effectively utilize and integrate technology in problem solving;
- identify, evaluate and synthesize information independently and/or in a collaborative environment;
- review and identify credible information gleaned from resources;
- utilize pertinent resources in a legal and ethical manner; and
- demonstrate basic concepts and techniques necessary for transfer in one's chosen field of study.
