Notes
You have two options in this program: the associate in science (A.S.) degree, which can prepare you for employment or transfer to a state university, or the associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree, which is intended primarily for students who want immediate employment after graduation. If you choose the A.S. degree you must take MAC 1105, MGF 1106 or a higher level mathematics. The A.A.S. degree requires MAT 1033 or higher.
