Associate of Science (AS)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

The Associate of Science degree includes several options selected from courses listed below. By completing your AS degree requirements before transferring to a public four-year institution in Colorado, 60 credits are guaranteed to transfer once you are accepted for admission. Liberal Arts and Sciences majors will be able to finish a BS degree with 60 additional credits at the transfer institution. This is called a 60 + 60 transfer plan. Please see your advisor for additional information.

The degree has several options. These include Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, as well as a general option for other majors in the mathematics and sciences. These options are suggested by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. All courses will count toward the AS degree. However, transferability depends on the four-year institution. Courses in addition to those listed may be transferable to one or more of the public four-year colleges or universities in Colorado. For specific information, please see your advisor.

See the section on Scholarships and Awards  for scholarship opportunities related to this program.

The Associate of Science program is available at all Colorado Mountain College locations. Not every course is offered on every campus, some campuses may require travel between sites or technology enhanced modalities to complete the degree. For more information, please see Academic Programs at Colorado Mountain College.
