PGM Code – AS1
Program Description The Associate in Science (AS-T) degree is designed to prepare science majors for transfer to a four-year institution with junior standing. The AS-T degree will generally provide the transferring student with at least 90 quarter (60 semester) credits upon entry to a four-year institution. This degree will satisfy some, but not all, of the general education requirements at the receiving institution.
Common Course Numbering Please refer to www.edcc.edu/ccn for more information.
Credit/Grade Requirements This AS-T degree is awarded upon completion of a minimum of 90 credits as outlined with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all college level courses. At least 30 credits must be earned at Edmonds CC.
Cultural Diversity Requirement All students earning a degree or certificate of 45 credits or more must meet a cultural diversity (CD) requirement by taking at least five (5) credits of CD courses. To learn more, go to Academic Information – Cultural Diversity Requirement in the online academic catalog.
Students are advised to
- Consult with a science faculty adviser and the appropriate department at your four-year transfer institution about course selection and completion of degree requirements.
- Plan your schedule, in consultation with a science faculty adviser, several quarters in advance to accommodate courses that are offered only once or twice per year.
- Review the college catalog for required course prerequisites and include these in schedule planning.
- At least three quarters before you plan to graduate, contact any college(s) where you have earned credits and have your official transcript(s) sent to Edmonds CC.
- Submit an “Evaluation Request - Transfer Credits” form (available in Enrollment Services) to activate the process of transferring credits to Edmonds CC.
Graduation Application A completed Graduation Application form must be submitted online by the 10th day of the quarter in which the student expects to graduate. Note: Applications for summer quarter are due by the 8th day of the quarter.
