Associate in Science-Transfer Degree

Associate in Science - Transfer (AS-T) Requirements

Students must be careful to follow the catalog of the receiving institution in order for the program to be most successful. Working closely with a faculty adviser who is familiar with the major is highly recommended.

The intent is that students will take as many prerequisites to the major as possible and attain the GPA needed for entrance into the university and the major. It is highly recommended that sequences in math and science be completed entirely at one institution instead of breaking up sequences between institutions.

This degree does not satisfy the general university requirements. Instead, it allows students to enroll in courses required for acceptance into specific majors in science, engineering and computer science and still earn the priority admissions consideration granted by the associate in arts and sciences direct transfer agreement. This degree does not guarantee admittance to any specific major or school, nor does it necessarily meet all of the prerequisites of a particular major. Mathematics majors are referred to the associate in arts and sciences direct transfer degree.

To be eligible for the AS-T degree, students must have
a minimum of 40 credits directly related to the major area. A maximum of five credits in the restricted elective category is allowed.

Students must have a cumulative 2.0 GPA or higher to receive this degree.

The following courses must be part of the 90 transferable credits:

Writing: 10 credits

A grade of 2.0 or higher (“C” grade) in ENGL 201, 203 or 235 is required for graduation.
