Degree

Hi.

After completing an Associate in Science (AS) degree, you have several options to continue your education. The AS is typically a 2-year undergraduate-level degree (often from community colleges in the U.S. or similar institutions worldwide) and is designed to prepare students for transfer to a 4-year bachelor's program.

Here's a detailed breakdown:

Bachelor's Degree (Most Common Path)

The AS degree is primarily intended for transfer into a 4-year bachelor's degree program. Most universities accept AS graduates into the 3rd semester of a Bachelor's programme (depending on credits).

Examples of degrees you can pursue:

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

B.Sc. in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Environmental Science, etc.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

If your AS courses included humanities or social sciences, some universities allow transfer to B.A. in Psychology, Sociology, or English.

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) / Commerce (B.Com)

If you have AS credits in math, economics, or business foundations.

Specialized/Professional Programs

Some universities allow AS graduates to enter professional or specialised programs, but eligibility may vary:

Engineering or Technology programs

Example: B.Tech / B.E. (with prerequisites in math/science)

May require completing additional foundational courses if AS courses don't match the programme requirements.

Healthcare-related programs

Nursing (BSN)

Allied health degrees (Radiology, Medical Lab Science, etc.)
