ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREES AND CERTIFICATES

For students who intend to continue their education at a four-year degree granting institution

To receive the A.S. degree, students must satisfactorily complete Program requirements. This includes 35 credits to meet the general education core requirements.

Transferable General Education Common Core

The general education common core was developed through collaboration of New Mexico’s public postsecondary institutions to facilitate transfer of students between New Mexico’s institutions of higher education. For students enrolled at any public institution in New Mexico, the general education common core courses will transfer to any other New Mexico public college or university and apply toward associate and baccalaureate degree program requirements. (Students preparing for careers in engineering, health sciences, or other profession-related fields are advised that some of this coursework may not transfer toward general education requirements but in most cases will apply toward elective requirements.)

Transferable Associate of Science

The Associate of Science degree is intended for transfer to a four-year baccalaureate granting institution. Institutions vary significantly regarding the science and math courses they require and accept in transfer toward completion of specific degree programs. Students are strongly encouraged to, and responsible for, understanding the requirements of their anticipated transfer institution(s) regarding the number and content of science and math courses required to meet program-specific transfer requirements. Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to the courses listed below (e.g., MATH 160 and 180 prior to MATH 188). In general, however, it is suggested that students complete the New Mexico Transfer Module as outlined.

Transfer Guides and Catalogs

Several transfer guides have been developed through collaboration of New Mexico’s postsecondary institutions.

Students who have selected a field of study and/or the college or university where they wish to graduate are advised to consult the transfer guide or catalog for that institution for advice to guide their course selection. Planning for effective transfer is ultimately the student’s responsibility. Responsible transfer planning includes early and regular consulta- tion with the intended transfer institution to assure that all pre-transfer coursework will meet the requirements of the desired degree. The Core Advisor in Science is another useful resource.

Program Concentration Choice

The general education list of 35 credit hours is the safest choice for students who have not yet selected either a major field of study or the college or university they plan to attend after San Juan College. Students wishing to prepare for possible transfer into a degree program at another institution are advised to take these general education courses dur- ing their freshman and sophomore years.

General Education Credit Requirements 35-36

*Certain profession-related programs, such as engineering and nursing, may be exempt from the requirement that they apply all 35 credit hours toward general education or major requirements, but the remaining work may be accepted as elective credits. There are also special requirements for education majors.

Computer Science Requirement for Associate of Science Degree: any 3 credit Computer Science course (COSC 111 or above). Transfer colleges vary in whether they accept computer science courses as electives.

Associate of Science requirements include completion at least 27 common core credits with a 2.0 GPA or higher. Program requirements serve as a guide for selecting courses and the sequence for taking these courses. It is recognized that students often need developmental or preliminary preparation courses and more semesters to complete the A.S. degree.

Courses not included in the general core curriculum above may not necessarily be accepted by the transfer institution.

Students are advised that grades below C typically do not transfer. Students intending to transfer to a bachelor degree granting college or university are strongly encouraged to check with their advisor and carefully coordinate their coursework at San Juan College with the requirements of the transfer institution.

COMPUTER SCIENCE

Associate of Science

The Computer Science Associate of Science degree is designed for students interested in software programming and design. Within New Mexico, the courses in this Program transfer best to New Mexico Institute of Mining and Tech (NM Tech). Some courses from this Computer Science Program may transfer as electives to computer science or computer technology programs at other higher education institutions. Those wishing to transfer to a four-year degree program in computer science or computer engineering are strongly advised to check the appropriate university catalog and to talk with a member of the university program or Registrar’s office to determine which of the SJC Computer Science Program courses will fulfill program-specific requirements at the transfer institution. Also, consider taking courses in a foreign language while at San Juan College since many university Schools of Arts and Science require a foreign language.

Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to the courses listed below (e.g., MATH 160 and 180 prior to MATH 188).

In general, however, it is suggested that students complete the New Mexico Transfer Module as outlined below. Stu- dent must earn a grade of C or higher in all COSC courses for the course to count toward a degree.

Communications (See Page 171) 9

Mathematics According to the NM Engineering Transfer Module, the entry-level College Math Course for a Com- puter Science Program is Calculus I. Students’ Accuplacer score for Mathematics will determine their placement in the Math sequence, beginning with MATH 115 Intermediate Algebra through MATH 188 Calculus I. Students who place at the beginning of the Math sequence will need to complete 11 additional credit hours of coursework to complete the degree requirements.

** You need to be able to use a computer, type, create documents, save files, etc. before taking COSC 118. If your com- puting skills are low you should take COSC 097 concurrently.

*** Read the current catalog of your intended transfer degree institution to take the most appropriate laboratory science courses. Any San Juan College approved laboratory science course may be substituted as deemed appropriate by your computer science advisor. This course also satisfies General Education laboratory science requirement. For information about NM Tech go to www.nmt.edu, NMSU www.nmsu.edu and Fort Lewis www.fortlewis.edu.

ENGINEERING

Associate of Science

The Associate of Science degree in General Engineering is intended to prepare students for transfer to a four-year baccalaureate granting institution. Those wishing to transfer to a baccalaureate granting institution and pursue a degree program are strongly encouraged to check with their advisor and carefully coordinate their coursework at San Juan College with the requirements of the transfer institution.

Although the NM General Education Core includes oral communication, the engineering core replaces this with the option of taking technical writing in place of oral communication. This is because accreditation requirements for engineering programs (accreditation is through ABET, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) mandate substantial oral communication content, which is incorporated by most engineering programs into lab and design courses throughout the curriculum. The choice between oral communication and technical writing depends on which engineering program and university the student chooses to attend. Students should discuss this with their advisor.

Mathematics Students’ Accuplacer score for Mathematics will determine their placement in the Math sequence, beginning with MATH 115 Intermediate Algebra through MATH 188 Calculus I. Students who place at the beginning of the Math sequence will need to complete 11 additional credit hours of coursework to complete the degree requirements.
