Plan of Study

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

Ecological Science Emphasis should strongly consider BIOL 2220/2225 as electives. Students should check program requirements for desired transfer school and program, to choose appropriate electives. Students should follow the STEM Math Pathway and begin taking their math placement on the STEM Math Pathway during their first semester.
