The A.S. degree is designed for those who plan to transfer to a four-year, degree-granting institution for the completion of a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree.
Associate in Individualized Studies (A.I.S.) - Targeted at the mature student, typically an adult who wishes to enhance employment skills or pursue an education for general enrichment or personal development, the A.I.S degree is a two-year program of study designed to permit such a student to plan and pursue a program which is not constrained to course work in one specific field. Some of the courses may be transferable to a baccalaureate program.
Unless otherwise noted, the term program refers to an associate degree with its own curriculum code and all related specializations and certificates. A major is a grouping of courses that define a discipline or interdisciplinary specialty. A degree program is a broadly structured curriculum leading to the award of an associate degree, and is listed on a student’s diploma. A specialization is an area of concentration within an approved major that varies from the parent major by 9-18 credits.
