B-10 2012-2013 TMCC College Catalog
Associate of Science
The Associate of Science (AS) degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university for a
baccalaureate degree. Students planning to transfer prior to completing a transfer degree should refer to the catalog of the transfer
institution or applicable transfer agreement.
Students may choose from the following options:
• A general course of study (Associate of Science-General) that uses any approved university transfer course to fulfill the general elective
course credits. Students are encouraged to follow a recommended course sequence designed to facilitate a smooth transfer into a major
at a four-year college or university. Please consult the appropriate page(s) in this catalog for degree requirements.
• A specific course of course of study (such as an Associate of Science in Environmental Science) that may have specific general education
and/or additional degree requirements. Please consult the appropriate page(s) in this catalog for degree requirements.
• An emphasis of at least 15 credits in a specific course of study (such as an Associate of Science-Geoscience Emphasis) that prepares
students for a designated major at a four-year institution and/or employment within the chosen field. Please consult the appropriate
page(s) in this catalog for degree requirements.
Satisfactory completion of the degree guarantees fulfillment of lower-division general education requirements at UNR, UNLV or
NSC. Students who intend to transfer to other institutions should consult an advisor or follow the catalog of the transfer institution.
Courses with a ”C” or “D” designator or courses with a number less than 100 are not applicable toward the degree. Check TMCC
course descriptions for transfer status to a baccalaureate degree of science within the universities in the Nevada System of Higher
Education (NSHE).
