Associate in Science
General information for all A.S. degree seekers
The Associate in Science degree program prepares students to transfer to a four-year college or university to major in either biology or chemistry. Because requirements vary at each four-year college or university, students should check with the school they plan to transfer to or an advisor or counselor to make sure they're taking the right courses.
There are two areas of concentration for the Associate in Science degree.
- Biology
- Chemistry
