Pre-Professional Studies Focus, AS

The Pre-Professional Studies Associate of Science degree program is designed for students who are planning to transfer to a four‐year college or university and pursue baccalaureate degree programs. The curriculum fulfills the freshman and sophomore general education requirements of most four‐year colleges and universities. Effective general education helps students gain competence in the exercise of independent intellectual inquiry and also stimulates their examination of understanding of personal, social and civic values. In addition, this degree will fulfill the requirements for the Ohio Transfer Module at other public colleges and universities. In essence, upon completion students will have a well‐rounded general education to augment the final two years required for a Bachelor’s degree.
