Objectives

The main focus of the Associate of Science degree is transferability to a baccalaureate program at Montana Tech or elsewhere across the state and nation. Graduates will be prepared to pursue a bachelor degree in a field consistent with their interests and abilities.


To receive an AS from Montana Tech the following must be met:


• Completion of the Undergraduate General Education Core (30-31 credits).
• A final cumulative GPA 2.00 with no course below a “C-“
• A minimum of 60 earned semester credits
• At least 30 semester credits must be earned at the College, and the student must be enrolled during the year in which the degree is awarded.


Courses taken to fulfill one specific requirement, including courses in the Elective block, may not be used to fulfill another specific requirement, thus, a course taken to fulfill a Physical & Life Science in the General Education Core may not be used as an Elective.

 

Outcomes


Students completing the Associate of Science curriculum will:


• Effectively communicate both orally and in writing
• Think critically in evaluating information, solving problems, and decision making
• Work cooperatively in groups or teams
