The Associate of Science degree teaches students to think critically and creatively about their perceptions of ideas, events and people. This degree is for students who would like to pursue a science-based degree. Core curriculum emphasizes mathematics and science, but it also includes English, history, and social studies, while learning fundamental skills in analysis, research, composition and reading comprehension. This science-intensive degree is designed to position the student for successful employment, career advancement, or more focused study in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields at the baccalaureate level. Contact Dr. Katie Cerrone for more information.
The Associate of Technical Studies (ATS) program is available for adult students whose educational objectives and interests cannot be met through one of the formal associate degree programs. This program enables students to combine certifications (institutional, state, national) earned through an educational entity or a place of employment, with general education courses to meet the associate degree requirements.
