Associate in Arts and Science

Program Summary:
Students interested in bachelor degree programs in English, history, sociology, psychology, business, law or education should work toward an Associate in Arts (AA) degree. Each student should work with his/her advisor to make up a curriculum profile for the student's study at NETC. This should be completed no later than the second term of attendance at NETC. (NOTE: Students who are interested in earning a bachelor's degree in elementary education or social work may consult their advisors for information regarding courses which will transfer to Francis Marion University or Coker College.)

Students interested in mathematics or science related majors should work toward the Associate in Science (AS) degree. Each student should work with the faculty advisor to design a curriculum profile for the student's study at the College.

The course work for these programs are designed to parallel the freshman and sophomore years of study (general education and electives) at most four-year colleges and universities.

Full-time students can complete either theAssociate in Arts or the Associate in Scienceprogram in four semesters, and evening students, depending on the course enrollment of the student, can complete their studies in five to six semesters.
