Associate of Science Degree
Purpose: The associate of science in physical and natural sciences degree is designed for persons who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree in a scientific discipline.
Program Requirements: The major emphasis in this curriculum is on mathematics, the biological sciences, and the physical sciences. However, the curriculum also includes electives in humanities and social sciences so that the student can select the appropriate courses for his or her preprofessional or scientific program as required in the first two years of the prospective four-year college or university degree. Students must become knowledgeable about the requirements of the major departments in the college or university to which transfer is contemplated and also consult with their academic advisor. Upon satisfactory completion of the four-semester program, the graduate will be awarded the associate of science degree in physical and natural sciences.
Graduation Requirement: Students must take one Writing Intensive Course (WIC).

Total minimum credits: 61
1 To meet the humanities elective requirement for this program, no more than one introductory foreign language course (101 or 102 level) may be used. Although a course fulfills a requirement for a PVCC program, it is possible the course will not fulfill a requirement at a four-year institution. Students who plan to transfer need to be aware of the four-year institution’s requirements. |
