ASSOCIATE OF ARTS/ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees are designed to prepare students for transfer to baccalaureate programs. In general, students who successfully complete either the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degrees will have completed the equivalent of freshman and sophomore level required course work at baccalaureate institutions. However, students are strongly advised to work closely with their academic advisors and the institutions they plan to attend when selecting their KBOCC courses. Selecting the appropriate courses is ultimately the students’ responsibility. In special cases, substitutions for required courses may be approved to meet specific transfer requirements.
