Science - Associate of Science
The Associate of Science degree allows students to complete many of the general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree while still at the community college. Students should take electives that apply toward the requirements of their chosen bachelor’s degree. The science electives may be taken at DACC or at NMSU. Students who wish to transfer to NMSU and major in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, or Mathematics, should consider selecting the appropriate Concentration and follow the related Roadmap, in consultation with their advisor.
