The Associate of Science (AS) degree program is a two-year course of study that covers the core materials needed to complete the first two years of a Texas four year college or university’s Bachelor of Science (BS) degree program. The AS program is designed to parallel the student’s choice in a bachelor’s program at a specific Texas four-year college or university. Upon successfully completing the program at Coastal Bend College, the credits students earn can be then transferred as an Associate of Science credential upon graduation to the Texas four-year college or university that the student identified.
