Advising Guide for
Associate in Science
(AS3)

General Notes:

  • With an AS degree, graduates can transfer directly to any state-supported four-year institution in SC.  Overall, credits from PTC are accepted at more than 23 institutions in SC and surrounding states.

    The final decision as to the transferability of courses will be made by the senior institution at the time of transfer.  For protection, the student should visit the senior institution and secure approval of all courses.

    Get advising tips for students who plan to transfer with the AA or AS degree.

     
  • Students planning transfer to USC with an associate's in sciences degree are coded ASU, the USC Bridge Program.  Evelyn Beck, transfer coordinator for AA, AS, & GST, should be listed as the primary advisor for these students.
     
  • The generic model below is for students seeking 60 hours of transfer credit. Courses may be substituted according to majors and college to which student is transferring, but should come from the approved list of courses. Refer to the state-approved Transfer Blocks to select courses that meet degree requirements when the student has a general idea of his major.
     
  • If student is not ready to take college-level courses, use the Developmental and Pre-College Advising Guide.
     
  • Depending on senior institution, transfer credit of sciences may require completion of a series.
     
  • Every student must take ENG 101 and ENG 102. Students transferring to Clemson need to complete ENG 101 and 102 to gain transfer credit for ENG 103 that is now required of all CU graduates.
     
  • BIO 107 and CHM 100 are not college transfer courses but may be used as prerequisites if needed.
