PURPOSE: This two-year degree prepares students to transfer to a four-year college and major in a science program such as biology, chemistry, physics, pre-med, pre-dentistry, and environmental science.
CREDENTIALS: An Associate of Science (AS) degree is a major related to an area such as business administration, engineering, science, and social sciences that takes 2 years for full time students to complete. Students receiving an AS degree intend to transfer to four-year colleges.
TRANSFER INFORMATION: This program is designed for transfer. Students should consult with their advisors to ensure that they select general electives that best prepare them for the specific requirements of their intended transfer college or university programs of study. More information can also be found at www.brightpoint.edu/academics/transfer/
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Students must meet Brightpoint admission requirements. New students should work with their New Student Navigator to get ready for their first semester. They can also email getstarted@brightpoint.edu for assistance. Because transfer requirements will vary based upon the intended transfer institution, students must meet with their faculty advisor to develop a schedule that best suits their goals.
PROGRAM OUTCOMES: By the completion of this program, students will be expected to:
1. Explain the process and limitations of scientific inquiry.
2. Apply scientific literacy skills to design and perform an experiment, and then evaluate the data collected to draw evidence-based conclusions.
3. Show an understanding of the fundamental laws, theories, and concepts of inorganic chemistry.
4. Analyze data and interpret charts, graphs, and tables to draw valid conclusions.
5. Show an understanding of the function concept in graphical form, including linear, polynomial, rational, algebraic, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
