The Associate in Science degree is designed to transfer to a four-year college or university and has a greater emphasis in mathematics and science than the Associate in Arts degree.
Students graduating with the AS degree can enter four-year colleges or universities with a junior standing. Students wishing to transfer must work closely with Hawkeye's advising staff as a statewide articulation agreement for Associate in Science degrees does not exist. Each degree and its program focus are articulated on a college-by-college basis.
The AS degree in Liberal Arts requires a total of 62 credit hours with a minimum of 36 credit hours of liberal arts core credits and the remaining 26 hours as college electives. Up to 16 credit hours of technical courses can be counted toward the 26 hours of electives. The AS degree tracking form demonstrates all the specific requirements for this degree.
