ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE
DEGREE PROGRAM
The associate of science degree is a specialized degree
intended for transfer into a pre-professional program. This
degree is substantively different from both the associate in
applied science and the associate in arts degrees. The associate in
science provides an alternative to the associate of arts degree
for those fields that require so much specialized work that the
student cannot complete as much general education as the AA
degree demands.
Computer Science
ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE
Florissant Valley, Forest Park, Meramec
This program provides students with the first two years of
study toward a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or
university. Persons with computer science skills design, engineer,
produce, implement, sell or service systems for a variety of
organizations. Many are employed to analyze jobs, translate them
into computer language, refine programs or operate systems on
a daily basis.
Students are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with
the computer science program at the schools to which they plan
to transfer. The general education component is designed to
meet receiving institutions’ guidelines. They should contact the
instructional department or a counselor or advisor at St. Louis
Community College to plan a program to meet those
requirements.

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE
Florissant Valley, Forest Park and Meramec
This program provides students with the first two years of
study toward a Bachelor of Science degree at a four-year college
or university. Students take fundamental courses common to
most engineering disciplines and continue their studies in
specialized areas (such as electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical,
aerospace and nuclear) during the remaining years at four-year
colleges or universities.
St. Louis Community College works with the Missouri
University of Science and Technology, University of Missouri-
Columbia, Washington University, Southern Illinois University-
Edwardsville, UM-St. Louis/Washington University Joint
Engineering Program, Parks College of St. Louis University and
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to facilitate the transferability of
specific courses. For the most current information on
transferability, please consult an academic advisor, the Engineering
Department or the transfer institution’s Web site. This program is
designed to provide the necessary flexibility to meet the
technical and general education requirements indicated in the
receiving institution's transfer guidelines.
