LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CURRICULAR GUIDE
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE
(Effective Fall 2001 - Summer 2006)
This is primarily a transfer degree. It is designed for students who
intend to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a
baccalaureate degree in such disciplines or subject areas as the
following:
Biology Kinesiology
Chemistry Mathematics/Physics
Computer Science Medical Pre-Professional
Environmental Science Pre-Engineering
Geoscience
The specific requirements for this degree are presented below. A
minimum of 60 credits is required. This degree guide consists of
General Education Requirements and a Subject Area Concentration. The
curriculum is structured to enable students to satisfy the LCC General
Education Core Requirements, as well as the MACRAO Transfer Agreement
between two-year and four-year institutions in Michigan.
Students should see the "Course Descriptions" section of this catalog
or the Course Schedule for course prerequisite information. Basic
skills assessment and advising information may be found on page 8 of
this catalog.
>NOTE: Students should be aware that general education and subject
area requirements vary from one college or university to another.
Prior to beginning this curriculum, students should see an academic
advisor or counselor in the Counseling and Advising Center (Suite
2300, Gannon (GVT) Building, telephone number (517) 483-1904), obtain
an appropriate transfer guide (also in the Counseling and Advising
Center), and/or contact the school to which they will transfer for
specific transfer institution requirements. (See "Transfer
Information" in this section of the Catalog for a list of institutions
for which transfer guides are available).
In addition, students may request specific course substitutions by
submitting a Course Substitution and Waiver Authorization for Degree
Screening Form to the Liberal Studies Office of Instruction, Room 110,
Arts and Sciences Building.
>I. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS Minimum of 35 credits
By following the directions in this section and earning at least a 2.0
in each course, students will automatically be able to satisfy the
following general education requirements:
· Lansing Community College General Education Core Requirements
in the areas of mathematics, global perspectives and diversity,
writing, science and technology, and speech communication.
(Complete information about LCC Core requirements can be found
on page 23 of this catalog.)
· The MACRAO Transfer Agreement. (See "Transfer Information" in
this section of the Catalog for a complete list of MACRAO
requirements.)
· Additional General Education Requirements established
specifically for this Associate in Science Degree.
Students who complete Core courses other than those indicated below,
and who wish to apply those credits toward the Associate in Arts
Degree, should contact a faculty advisor or counselor in Suite 2300 of
the GVT Building, telephone number (517) 483-1904.
Before selecting general education courses, students should consult II
