Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T)
The Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T) degree is intended for students majoring in engineering and science who wish to transfer as juniors to a four-year college in Washington.
Students who earn this degree will transfer with about half of the lower division general education courses required by four-year colleges. Remaining general education courses may be taken after transferring. This degree allows students to concentrate on fulfilling pre-major coursework in their intended field of study. Several different options are offered with two basic tracks.
The Associate in Science Transfer Track 1 (AS-T 1) degree is designed to prepare students for upper division study in the areas of biological sciences, environmental/resource sciences, chemistry, geology, and earth science. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major.
The Track 1 degree offered at SCC and/or SFCC supports:
The Associate in Science Transfer Track 2 (AS-T 2) degree is designed to prepare students for upper division study in the areas of engineering, computer science, physics, and atmospheric science. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major.
The Track 2 degree offered at SCC and/or SFCC supports:
Associate in Science-Transfer Track 2
Engineering MRP Pathways (AS-T 2/MRP)
AS-T based Major Related Programs help prepare students for their junior year as they pursue a bachelor's degree. MRPs outline the courses students need to be well-prepared for upper-division courses upon transfer.
The Engineering MRPs offered at SCC and/or SFCC include:
