Associate of Science in Liberal Arts-Pre-Engineering Emphasis
The A.S. in Liberal Arts degree prepares students to succeed in a Bachelor's engineering program of their choice. Students will study the math and science they need in a cost-effective and learner-centered environment. Students will also receive individualized academic advising to help them transition into a four-year engineering program. Completion of the AS degree satisfies University Studies requirements at other University of Wisconsin System universities.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Creative and Critical Thinking:
- Students will be able to draw reasoned conclusions from sound mathematical or scientific principles and data.
- Students will be able to critically evaluate given assumptions and reasoning about a problem.
- Communication: Students will be able to communicate effectively using accepted mathematical and scientific notation, terminology, and conventions.
- Individual and Social Responsibility: Students will demonstrate an understanding of how their decisions (personal or professional) can alter the well-being of themselves, others, or the greater environment.
