Plan of Study 2020-2021

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Associate of Science degree in 2 years. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

Meet with the Academic Program Advisor and consult DegreeWorks for specific degree requirements.

Advising Notes

It is recommended that students transferring to the University of Utah’s Geography Department take GEOG 1180 .

Students who use the core program courses for general education requirements will need to take extra courses from the approved program electives. Students are advised to consider taking elective courses in GIS or Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (also known as drones) to complete a certificate of proficiency to complement their AS degree.
