Life Sciences, Associate of Science
The Associate of Science (AS) degree is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year or upper-level college or university and major in mathematics, one of the sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, physics, biotechnology, or related field), engineering, or computer science. For more information, students may refer to the Core Curriculum and Field of Study sections of the catalog. The AS degree differs from an Associate of Arts (AA) degree in the amount or level of mathematics and science required for degree completion. The College requires a minimum of 12 hours of mathematics, 12 hours in science, or 12 hours in computer sciences beyond the core requirement for the degree. Please note the Field of Study AS degree options contain state-required courses recommended for the degree.
Students seeking an AS degree should take science courses designed for majors rather than courses for non-majors. Science courses designed for allied health students are not intended for academic transfer toward a science major. BIOL 2404 Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology (lecture & lab) and BIOL 1322 Nutrition and Diet Therapy are designed strictly for allied health or health science majors and do not apply to an AS degree. The College recommends BIOL 2404 Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology (lecture & lab) for students pursuing some Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees and BIOL 1322 Nutrition and Diet Therapy for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
Students choosing to pursue an AS degree should select from among life science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics. However, courses designed for non-majors (BIOL 1308 Biology for Non-Science Majors I (lecture)/BIOL 1108 Biology for Non-Science Majors I (lab), BIOL 1309 Biology for Non-Science Majors II (lecture)/BIOL 1109 Biology for Non-Science Majors II (lab), CHEM 1305 Introductory Chemistry I (lecture)/CHEM 1105 Introductory Chemistry I (lab), and GEOL 1301 Earth Sciences for Non-Science Majors I (lecture)/GEOL 1101 Earth Sciences for Non-Science Majors I (lab) do not apply to an AS degree. Likewise, courses designed strictly for allied health or health science such as BIOL 2404 Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology (lecture & lab) and BIOL 1322 Nutrition and Diet Therapy do not apply to the AS degree.

1 | MATH 1324 Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences, MATH 1325 Calculus for Business and Social Sciences, and MATH 1332 Contemporary Mathematics (Quantitative Reasoning) are not recommended for students pursuing mathematics or science. |
2 | Students must be simultaneously co-enrolled in the co-requisite science lab. |
3 | Students who have taken GOVT 2301 or GOVT 2302 , but not both, should check with an educational planner on how to complete the 6 SCH. |
4 | 2 SCH in this option include the labs for science courses. |
Other courses that may be used in this component may include any Core Curriculum course that has not been used to fulfill a previous component.
If a student successfully completes San Jacinto College’s 42-hour Core Curriculum, that block of courses must be substituted for the receiving institution’s core curriculum. The receiving institution may not require a student to take additional Core Curriculum courses to meet the requirements of the core. Students who transfer without completing the Core Curriculum shall receive academic credit in the core curriculum of the receiving institution for each of the courses the student has successfully completed in the San Jacinto College Core Curriculum.
Students should plan Core Curriculum courses that would meet baccalaureate degree requirements at the four-year institution.
If you do not see your transfer school, please follow the Plan of Study. For more information, contact an Admissions advisor. Please speak to an advisor at San Jacinto College and the transfer institution to ensure this Transfer Plan is accurate and complete.
