Associate in Science Degree
GEN.AS.B70
The Associate in Science degree, emphasizing the sciences and mathematics, provides the first two years of study toward a bachelor of science degree. It is ideal for students who have not yet decided what their major will be or for students who have selected a major for which KCC does not offer a specific transfer curriculum. Major-specific Associate in Science degrees available at KCC include Biological Sciences, Business, Business Fast Track Degree, Chemistry and Mathematics. An Associate in Engineering Science transfer degree also is offered. Those curricula are included on Pages 42,43,44,45 and 51. Students enrolling in this curriculum are urged to meet with an academic adviser each semester to review course selections and transfer plans.
