Science, Associate of Science
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.).
Program objectives
Upon successful completion of this degree, students 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; and
- communicate information to a variety of audiences using appropriate written, spoken, and/or visual methods.
