What is an AS-T MRP?


The Associate in Science - Transfer  degree requires a minimum of 90 quarter credits in courses numbered 100 or above and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. Each individual course must have a minimum grade of 1.0. Students granted the degree are normally awarded junior status. The AS-T Major Related Program (MRP) prepares students for entrance into certain majors at those schools. The MRP requires specific courses, and will be shown on your transcript as a different type of degree than the general AS-T.

What do I need to take?

Below are the requirements for the AS-T Track 2 and the Major Related Program (MRP) in Civil and Mechanical Engineering.

General Education - 18-20 Credits


Courses used in General Education (Gen Ed) Core may not be used for distribution.

Communication (8-10 Credits)


Take ENGL& 101  and either ENGL& 102 , ENGL& 230 , or CMST& 101 .

Multicultural Understanding (5 Credits)

Quantitative/Symbolic Reasoning (5 Credits)


Distribution Requirements - 10 Credits


See Courses That Meet Transfer Degree Requirements . The same course cannot be used in two distribution areas (e.g. both Humanities and Social Sciences). 

Humanities (5 Credits)


Choose one course from the Humanities  course list.

Social Sciences (5 Credits)


Select one course from the Social Sciences  course list. Recommended: ECON& 201 .

Pre-Major Program - 79-84.5 Credits
