|
|
 Return to: Degrees and Certificates A-Z
Students are required to earn a minimum of 90 college-level credits with a 2.0 grade point average to graduate. A minimum of 63 credits of general education/core courses is required.
Important Notice:
The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) Degree, Option I is designed to prepare students for upper division study in the areas of Biological Sciences, Environmental/Resource Sciences, Chemistry, Geology, and Earth Science. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major.
Students completing this AS-T will receive the same priority consideration for admission to the baccalaureate institution as they would for completing the Associate in Arts DTA Degree and will be given junior status by the receiving institution. Additional general education requirements, cultural diversity requirements, and foreign language requirements, as required by the transfer institution, must be met prior to the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Students need to meet with department advisors at the baccalaureate institution to determine an appropriate educational plan.
Residence Requirements for Transfer Degrees:
- A minimum of 30 credits that apply toward the degree earned at WWCC.
