Associate in Science Biology, Chemistry, Exercise & Environmental Science Majors Pathway (A10400)
The Associate in Science degree program allows students to earn their first two years of a bachelor’s degree at CCC&TI at a significant cost savings. Students who earn the A.S. degree with a grade of C or better in each course and an overall GPA of 2.0 are eligible for transfer to all UNC universities as a junior (dependent upon university admission). Students who follow the Biology, Chemistry, Exercise & Environmental Science Majors Pathway will have completed many of the prerequisite courses needed for a university major in biology, chemistry, exercise science, or environmental science.
Note: This degree is offered on Caldwell campus, Watauga campus, and online.
ACA-122 IS REQUIRED TO BE TAKEN IN THE FIRST SEMESTER FOR ALL COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENTS.
