Pre-Professional

Associate in Science (AS)

The Associate in Science (AS) is intended for students who ultimately wish to complete a baccalaureate science degree at a four-year college or university. The AS curriculum courses focus on courses such as biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, mathematics, or physics.

Students should keep in mind the limits on the number of credits that transfer to the four-year university and review all material on the institutions' websites. Requirements may change, and time limits often apply to science coursework.

Students who successfully complete an AS degree will have satisfied the General Education requirements at every public university in North Carolina as well as the private colleges that are signatories of the 2015 Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. Students who transfer without the AA or AS degree must complete the General Education core requirements at the receiving institution.
