Associate of Science 2+2 Options
Build a solid foundation.
The Associate of Science (AS) degree program is designed to give you the transferrable skills to continue your education beyond Belmont College. The Associate of Science degree can be tailored to apply to a range of majors at the bachelor’s degree level at most four-year colleges and universities. This program offers the option of studying either fully online or in-person on campus.
Whether you’re interested in taking the first step toward earning a degree at a four-year college or university, or you haven’t narrowed your focus to one area of study, the Associate of Science program may be right for you. This degree is the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore years of a bachelor of science or related program, such as engineering, business, or natural sciences. In the AS program, you’ll gain a broad knowledge of liberal arts, with an emphasis on mathematics and science. A range of elective courses across disciplines gives you a range of options in choosing transferrable courses.
We encourage you to ask for updates on the status of courses and to discuss your transfer intentions with a representative of the College academic advising team early in your Belmont experience to ensure that you choose the correct courses to meet the receiving college or university’s specific requirements.
The AS degree requires a minimum of 62 semester credit hours for graduation.
