Associate of Science Degree
The Associate of Science degree is appropriate for those students who plan to pursue further study in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics or Physics. This degree is also appropriate for those interested in careers in Statistics, Mathematics, Bio-technology, Medical Sciences, Engineering and Secondary Education majors who plan to major in a Science (e.g. Math, Biology, Geology, Chemistry or Physics teachers).
It is required that individuals considering a career in science meet with one of the science faculty to discuss specific courses to meet their academic needs.
Degree seekers should choose from one of two pathways: Life Sciences or Physical Sciences.
