Associate of Science Degree
Code: 831
Transfer Program


Purpose: The associate of science curriculum in engineering is designed for those who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree program in engineering.

Program Requirements: This curriculum emphasizes engineering, mathematics, and the sciences. The curriculum also includes electives in humanities and social sciences so that the student can select the appropriate courses for his or her pre-professional program as required in the first two years of the prospective four-year college or university degree. The responsibility for proper course selection rests with the student. Students who complete the program and fulfill all other graduation requirements will be awarded the associate of science degree in engineering.

Graduation Requirements: Students entering all degree programs are required to take one Writing Intensive Course (WIC), which has a prerequisite of ENG 111 and ENG 112 in order to graduate. Approved WICs are specified with a “WI” section designation.

Students in all degree programs are required to take at least one Civic Engagement course to graduate.
