Associate in Science Transfer Track 2/MRP-Civil and Mechanical Engineering, AST-2/MRP


Minimum of 107 Credits

The Associate in Science-Transfer Track 2/Major Related Program in Civil and Mechanical Engineering degree also includes Aeronautical, Environmental and Indusrial Engineering which encompasses some general education courses required of first- and second-year students and is intended to prepare students planning to transfer to a university in the science-related fields. It will give students the broad background needed before beginning more specialized, upper-division courses. The curriculum is not intended to fulfill General Education/University (GER/GUR) requirements, but to prepare prospective transfer science students to enter the state universities with junior standing, not only in credits but also with major/program preparation.

Students must attain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0, and earn a minimum of 24 credits at Green River College. Students should include some 200-level classes in their course of study.

Students are responsible for knowing transfer requirements and policies, as well as specific course choices and GPA requirements, and are urged to consult the catalog of the institution for which they plan to transfer.

This degree can lead to a large number of career possibilities, some of which may include what you find at the right. The majority of these jobs require a bachelor’s degree and this degree can assist you with earning that bachelor’s degree.
