Associate in Science

The Associate in Science program serves students who wish to take courses to transfer into a four-year senior college in such majors as computer science, engineering, health sciences, mathematics, science or others that require more intensive course work in mathematics and science than in the humanities and/or social sciences. A student may take a few courses before transferring or complete a two-year degree program that is essentially equivalent to the first two years of the degree requirements for the chosen major at the student's senior college.

Entrance requirements for transfer students vary widely among senior colleges and universities. Transfer of credits is a privilege granted by the institution to which the student transfers, and all applicants and requests for transfer of credit are considered individually. Students must complete their courses at Midlands Technical College with grades acceptable to the college from which they request admission and transfer of credit. It is strongly recommended that early in a student's academic career at Midlands Technical College he or she discuss transferring to a four-year institution with the appropriate representatives of that institution.

While it is the responsibility of each student to plan a program of study to meet the requirements of the college to which the student expects to transfer, informed academic advisors are available to assist students in their course selections.
