Degrees & Certificates

Students can choose either of the following degree plans emphasizing taking as many math courses as possible.  If you are starting in Calculus your first quarter, then the AS-TII is probably your better option.  If you are a Running Start student, then the AA&S-DTA provides more flexibility to complete your high school requirements.  For either degree, you should take as much math as possible along with the Engineering Physics series.  Please meet with your advisor to determine your best course of action.
