The Associate of Science (AS) program is an academic transfer degree designed for students who will ultimately be pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at a four-year college/university. At Panola College, the AS degree is a generalized degree that will not list a specific major but will be called Associate of Science. Some examples are, but not limited to: Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, etc. While certain courses are recommended, the requirements are essentially the basic first and second year equivalent of many bachelor’s degrees.
