General Science
Program Goals & Outcomes
The Associate of Science degree program provides students with a wide range of scientific course topics in a flexible program of study. The expected Program outcome is to provide a broad or narrow focus in science for students who plan to transfer to a multidisciplinary baccalaureate program or for entry into the workforce.
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Analyze key concepts, theories, or principles in a scientific specialty;
- Interpret scientific data to draw valid conclusions;
- Apply scientific methodologies to solve problems; and
- Communicate using vocabulary and notation specific to a scientific discipline.
