How to Pay for CollegeThe Associate of Science (AS) degree is a two-year degree that provides a general
liberal arts education. An AS degree helps a student gain useful career skills, and
is also designed to serve as a stepping stone into a bachelor’s program at a four-year
college or university.
AA/AS degrees must fulfill Ohio Transfer 36, a set of 36-40 semester (54-60 quarter)
hours of general education courses distributed among the following categories: English
composition and oral communication; mathematics, statistics and logic; arts and humanities;
social and behavioral sciences; and natural sciences.
Institutions receiving AS transfer students who have completed Ohio Transfer 36 may,
however, have additional general education and pre-major requirements. Students who
intend to transfer should consult the receiving institution to ensure maximum applicability
of credits.
