An Associate of Science Degree is earned upon successful completion of 60 university-transferable credits. In most cases, the degree allows students to transfer to a university and enter the third year of a four-year bachelor's degree program. Many universities prefer candidates with an Associate Degree and will accept students at a lower grade point average.
