STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics A.S. Degree
The STEM A.S. Degree Program trains students how to think analytically, creatively, logically, and scientifically, and how to ask questions and pose solutions to the challenges facing our society. The STEM discipline helps develop the technological, medical, and scientific breakthroughs that drive our economy and prepare us for the future.  *This degree​ option can be completed entirely online.

This program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university and major in one of the traditional STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, math) with a heavy emphasis on undergraduate mathematics or science. Students wishing to concentrate in one of these areas should consult with an advisor or ARTSYS as early as possible to ensure that all or most of their course credits will transfer to the four-year school of their choice.
