ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE IN
GENERAL SCIENCE
The
Associate of Science in General Science degree is
designed as a transfer program for students who
plan to transfer to a baccalaureate degree-granting
institution and major in one of the sciences, health
professions, or related pre-professional areas,
such as dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, optometry,
physical therapy, nursing, physics, chemistry, or
biological science. If you do not plan to transfer
to a senior institution, the General Science curriculum
provides foundation courses that may lead to employment
in one of the various health, science fields, or
health related para-professions.
To maximize possible transfer courses to
senior institutions, you should select a college
or university as soon as possible and obtain a catalog
from that institution. You should discuss
your plans with a BRCC advisor and with an advisor
at the receiving institution to assure transferability
of credit.
To be awarded this degree, you must:
- Have
a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better in all credits
used toward the degree
- Earn
a “C” or better in major courses and
in English 101 and 102
- Take
at least 12 hours at the 200 level
- Complete
the coursework listed below
