Through the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree, OC offers lower division preparation for almost all bachelor degree programs. The A.S. degree provides the courses of study equivalent to those offered in the freshman and sophomore (lower division) of OC’s four-year programs.
The A.S. degree requirements consist of general education requirements and electives to prepare for a bachelor degree. Academic advisors may work with students who are planning to pursue a bachelor degree in order to ensure that prerequisites are met through the A.S. degree plan of study.
The Associate of Science degree requires 60 total credit hours, which includes 36 hours of general education courses and 24 hours of electives. The program is limited to 1000 and 2000 level courses unless approved by the signature of the advisor and Registrar.
