Program Notes:

Students must take a minimum of 30 credits in General Education courses from the 5 core areas as outlined in AS degree. Assuming no courses are taken during the Summer semester, full time students should average at least 16 credit hours per semester to graduate within 4 semesters. Taking courses during the summer semester allows students a better chance of fulfilling degree requirements on time. Students should take elective courses to meet the minimum requirement of 60 credit hours required for the Associate of Science degree and that are appropriate to their transfer objective. Some of these courses could be prerequisites for core courses. Students should consult with a counselor, academic advisor or program advisor (586.445.7999 Center Campus or South Campus).
