Associate in Science
This program allows students to design a program of study to meet their individual needs. This may be a good option if students are undecided about a major and want to explore a variety of discipline areas with a concentration in math and natural sciences. The program also allows students to customize their coursework to the requirements of the senior college or university to which they are transferring. Students should begin by meeting with a counselor who will assist them in developing a program of study that meets all of the College's graduation requirements. A counselor can also help students determine their interests and career and educational goals as well as provide transfer and career information.
