Associate of Science Degree (AS)
The Associate of Science (AS) degree is a transfer-focused degree designed for students who plan to continue their education at a four-year institution, particularly in fields that benefit from more specialized or discipline-specific coursework. The AS includes general education requirements along with coursework tailored to support transfer in a specific area of study.
The AS is often a good option for students pursuing fields such as science, engineering, or other specialized disciplines that require careful course selection to align with university and major requirements.
Because requirements vary by university and intended major, students are strongly encouraged to work with an academic advisor and identify their preferred transfer institution early. This helps ensure that course selections align with specific university requirements and supports a smooth transfer process.
Associate of Science programs offered at MHCC:
- Biology (PharmD Track)
- Engineering
- AS - General
Students interested in Biology or health-related fields such as medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine might also consider the Associate of Science Transfer in Biology (AST–Biology) degree.
