College Transfer Pathways
College Transfer Pathways are designed for high school students who wish to begin earning college credits towards a baccalaureate (eventual transfer to a four-year college or university). Each pathway comprises a structured set of general education courses leading to the completion of a college transfer degree. These pathways allow for the completion of over 30 semester credit hours of college transfer courses.
Associate in Science Pathway
The College Transfer Pathway leading to the Associate in Science is designed for high school juniors and seniors who wish to begin study toward the Associate in Science degree and a baccalaureate in a STEM or technical major.
