STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math
A.S. Degree (Transfer) An Option of Arts & Sciences
Designed for students who plan to go on to a four-year school and major in
one of the traditional STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, math)
with a heavy emphasis on undergraduate mathematics or science. Students
wishing to concentrate in one of these areas should consult with an advisor
or ARTSYS as early as possible to ensure that all or most of their course credits
will transfer to the four-year institution of their choice.
Note:
The STEM program is also the appropriate major for students interested in
taking courses towards a bachelor’s degree in preparation for careers in dentistry,
medicine, pharmacy, and physical therapy.
• Students must complete their credit
English and Mathematics
within the first
24 credits.
• One general education course must meet the
cultural competence
graduation requirement
(list page 43).
• CORE: The General Education CORE
(page 42) is that foundation of the
higher education curriculum providing a coherent intellectual experience for
all students. Students should check with an advisor or the transfer institution
(ARTSYS) before selecting General Education CORE requirements. http://artsys.
