Associate of Science
The Associate of Science (A.S.) Degree option has been designed to be a transfer plan of study to four year MUS (Montana University System) institutions offering a Bachelor of Science Degree (BS). In addition to the completion of general education requirements this plan of study offers students the opportunity to complete 100 and 200 level math and science course requirements leading to acceptance to upper division programs in the MUS system and completion of a BS.
General Education requirements 40-42 credits.
