Associate in Science - Option II

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Students are required to earn a minimum of 90 college-level credits with a 2.0 grade point average to graduate. A minimum of 58 credits of general education/core courses is required.

Important Notice:

The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) Degree, Option II is designed to prepare students for upper division study in the areas of engineering, computer science, physics, and atmospheric science. Completing the AS-T degree 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.

Course Designators and Requirements

Natural Science [NS]

Physics Sequence: 15 credits

Sequence should not be broken up between institutions. Note: Some schools require calculus based Physics for the major. Consult with receiving transfer institution. Choose one of the following sequences:

PHYS& 114 - General Physics I With Lab Credits: 5
PHYS& 115 - General Physics II With Lab Credits: 5
PHYS& 116 - General Physics III With Lab Credits: 5
PHYS& 221 - Engineering Physics I With Lab Credits: 5
PHYS& 222 - Engineering Physics II with Lab Credits: 5
PHYS& 223 - Engineering Physics III with Lab Credits: 5

Chemistry or Natural Science:

Minimum of five (5) credits. Select course based on major. Engineering majors are required to take CHEM& 161. All courses with * are non-lab.

Humanities & Social Science [H] [HP] [SS]

Minimum of 15 credits required. 5 credits in Humanities, 5 credits in Social Sciences, and an additional 5 credits in either Humanities or Social Sciences.
No more than 5 credits allowed in 100 level Modern Languages.

Communications [C]

Minimum of 5 credits in a college-level composition course.

Quantitative Skills [Q]

At least 15 credits in courses at or above introductory calculus level (includes Introduction to Statistics).

Physical Ed [PE]

Three (3) activity credits required. Waived by physician recommendation only. A maximum of three (3) Physical Education Activity credits are allowed in the degree. Military service may satisfy this requirement. For students studying on one of our Department of Correction (DOC) campuses, HPER 264 - Stress Management satisfies this requirement.

Electives

32 credits total. Credits must be approved academic electives including college-level prerequisites for major courses, additional major coursework, or specific general education university requirements, as approved by the advisor.
27 credits must be fully transferable as defined by the ICRC* guidelines. All courses listed in the Master List of Transfer Courses meet this criteria.
A maximum of 5 credits of college-level, restricted elective courses will be accepted.
Students should consult with their advisor and intended transfer institution for transferability of courses.
