2016-2017 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Associate in Science-T - Track 2 - Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, Atmospheric Sciences
|
|
Program Description The Associate in Science (AS-T) transfer degree is designed to prepare computer science, science and engineering majors for transfer to a four-year institution with junior standing. The AS-T transfer degree will generally provide the transferring student with at least ninety quarter (60 semester) credits upon entry to a four-year institution. This transfer degree will satisfy some, but not all, of the general education requirements at the receiving institution. This degree requires successful completion of a minimum of 90 credits as outlined.
| Advising Note This program requirement sheet is not a substitute for meeting with an academic advisor. Meeting the requirements to graduate with an Edmonds CC certificate or degree is ultimately the responsibility of the student. |

OUTCOMES:
- Apply the skills and knowledge acquired through coursework to analyze issues, solve problems, and critically evaluate a proposal, claim, process, or theory as applied to Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences.
- Use appropriate quantitative tools to solve scientific questions, represent data, and document scientific findings as applied to Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences.
- Demonstrate the knowledge acquired through coursework by effectively communicating to fellow team members, the public, and members of the scientific community, using written, oral, and visual communication methods as applied to Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences.
- Safely and appropriately use standard laboratory or field equipment to make precise and reliable measurements as applied to Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences.
- Demonstrate the understanding that science relies on evidence, and that scientific knowledge is tentative, open to revision, falsifiable and subject to constraints as applied to Physics, Computer Science, General Engineering, and Atmospheric Sciences.

Associate in Science General Information
Program of Study Outcomes Edmonds CC’s four General Education Outcomes (Communicate, Act Responsibly, Reason, and Explore) are promoted throughout the college’s programs. Instructional programs of 45 credits or more foster learning in all four General Education Outcomes.
Student achievement is assessed in the general and program specific outcomes via the courses and course objectives that align with those outcomes. More information about program outcomes and course objectives can be found on the Using Program Requirement Sheets page.
Credit/Grade Requirements A minimum of 30 credits or one-third of the required college-level (100-level or above) credits, whichever is less, must be earned at Edmonds CC. Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in all college level courses.
Students Are Advised To:
- Plan your schedule, in consultation with a STEM faculty advisor, 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;
- Communicate with an academic advisor and/or a faculty advisor; and
- 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. Then, 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.
Transferring to Another University or College
- Admission application deadlines vary, students must meet the deadline for the university or college to which they plan to apply for admission to transfer.
- Consultation with a science faculty advisor and the appropriate department at your four-year transfer institution about course selection and completion of degree requirements is highly recommended.
Common Course Numbering Please refer to www.edcc.edu/ccn for more information.
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.
