Two-Year Associate of Science Degree
The Associate of Science (AS) degree is designed for students planning to transfer credits to a baccalaureate degree program at a four-year institution. It allows more freedom in course selection than the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree; however, because of the flexibility of this degree, it may not fulfill requirements for transfer to a university in Oregon. When selecting courses for this degree, students should consult KCC advisors and the institution to which they will transfer to make sure that they are taking the correct courses.
Environmental Emphasis
KCC offers students the opportunity to earn an Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in environmental science in preparation for a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies or environmental science (if transferred to a four-year program at a college or university).
