Pre-Bachelor's/Transfer
Associate of Science Degree
Associate of Science Degree Curriculum
Under Ohio House Bill 119, the Ohio legislature authorized Ohio technical colleges to seek authorization to award Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees. Marion Technical Collegehas received approval from the Ohio Board of Regents to begin offering the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees.
The purpose of these baccalaureate-oriented associate degrees is to enable students: (1) to transfer to colleges and universities and earn baccalaureate degrees; or, (2) to enable students to terminate academic study after two years with recognition of academic achievement by earning an associate degree. This degree will provide students with the opportunity to affordably complete their first two years of the baccalaureate degree and transfer credit to public four- year colleges and universities.
Associate of Science Degree
The Associate of Science (AS) is essentially the first two years towards a Bachelor of Science degree. The AS degree is a two year liberal arts/general education degree with an emphasis in English, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. Graduates of this program will have the general education necessary to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at most four-year colleges and universities as juniors.
