Program Description

The Associate of Science (A.S.) at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the A.S. may select courses that satisfy both the A.S. degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the A.S. allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The A.S. degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses.

Please Note: This guide is designed for students pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
