The Associate of Science in Engineering prepares students with core knowledge and skills needed for entry into baccalaureate schools as an engineering major. This program supports the Transfer Virginia common curriculum in engineering, including pathways in general, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, among others. The list of recommended transfer majors that fall under this award is not exclusive, and students should carefully consider the requirements to their intended four-year institution to determine if the A.S. Engineering provides the most appropriate plan of study. Students are strongly encouraged to consult an academic advisor and review transfer options using the Transfer Virginia Portal at https://www.transfervirginia.org/.
