The Associate in Science (A.S.) degree is a career education and transfer degree. It is a 60+ credit hour degree intended to prepare students for immediate employment in a specific occupational area and/or for transfer into the state university system. The degree requires the completion of at least 15-18 semester hours of transferable general education courses that meet the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on Colleges criteria along with technical courses that may or may not transfer. The general education courses will transfer and apply toward the 36 credit hours required for the baccalaureate degree in the state university system. In some areas of study statewide program specific articulation agreements have been developed ensuring the transfer of the associate in science degree.
