36 Associate of Applied Science Degree The AAS Degree programs are planned primarily to provide workers for the region served by the college. Students are prepared for immediate entry into the job market upon completion of their selected programs. It is not intended as a transfer degree into a four-year program and contains courses that are not primarily designed for transfer. In the event of a transfer to a four-year institution, a student should expect a receiving institution to evaluate each course in terms of its applicability to the requirements of a student’s major field of baccalaureate study. Students are responsible for verifying current articulation agreements with four-year institutions in their area of study.

Individual courses may be specified in the general education requirements of certain degree emphasis areas. They are listed along with core requirements in the Programs of Study sections of the catalog. The college perceives education not only as preparation to earn a living, but as a way of life itself, responsible to both the individual and the college community. It is for this reason, approximately 25 percent of each program leading to an Associate of Applied Science degree is comprised of general education courses.

The general education component of the AAS Degree includes at least one course from each of the following areas, or any general education requirements of the AA Degree as approved by program faculty: Communication Skills (one course) Human and Cultural Development (one course) BUED 203 Business Communication GOVT 121 National & State Government ENGL 105 Technical Writing PSYC 111 General Psychology ENGL 111 College Writing PSYC 243 Human Development Across the Life Span BUED 103 Business English SOCI 111 General Sociology SCOM 110 Public Speaking SOCI 234 Social Problems Mathematical Analysis Skills* (one course) Scientific Knowledge and Technology Skills (one course) AGRI 120 Plant Science ACCT 211 Principles of Accounting I AGRI 130 Animal Science ALHE 115 Basic Pharmacology for Allied Health Careers BIOL 101 General Biology ALHE 117 Intro to Clinical Pharmacology BIOL 102 Environmental Science ALHE 217 Clinical Pharmacology BIOL 231 Anatomy & Physiology I BUED 110 Business Math BIOL 232 Anatomy & Physiology II CIVL 106 Technical Math I BIOL 253 Microbiology CIVL 107 Technical Math II CHEM 121 General Chemistry I MATH 153 Intermediate Algebra CHEM 131 Organic Chemistry * Mathematics component required only as appropriate to a vocational program .
