THE ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREEA two-year Associate in Science (A.S,.) degree is offered by the Col-lege of Agriculture and Natural Resources" This degree is ideal forstudents interested in agriculture who desire to spend only two yearsworking toward a degree or who are unsure of their plans for highereducation, Admission requirements for the associate degree ar'e thesame as for the baccalaureate degree,

The Associate in Science offers an extremely flexible curriculum,The student must complete a minimum of 62 credit hours, with at least30 of the credits eamed within at least four of the five departments inthe college,. A minimum of 32 credits for the degree must be earned atthe University of Delawar'e ..In addition, the recipient must be in goodacademic standing (have a minimum grade point average of 20), Acandidate must apply for the associate degree during the academicterm in which all requirements for the degr'ee ar'e to be completed andmust, at the time of application, be enrolled in the college" Later appli-cation requires the approval of the student's dean.,

Although not necessarily recommended, a student could take all62 credits in agricultural courses., A better approach would be for thestudent to take some course work in the areas of physical science,social science, English, and mathematics, along with his or her cours-es in agriculture ..This approach would allow the student to more eas-ily complete a B"S,.degree program at a later date if desired,

For those students in Kent and Sussex Counties, the first yearcould be taken in Dover or Georgetown in the University ParallelProgram at the Delaware Technical & Community College" Thisoption would require car'dill planning, since 30 credits of agriculturalcourses would be needed in the second year at the College of Agri-culture and Natural Resources in Newark,
