Associate in Science

Advanced and Continuous Studies

The A.S. in Advanced and Continuous Studies is a 3+1 program that aligns with existing degree programs offered by Atlantic Cape. Before enrolling in this program, students will complete an associate’s degree in a chosen discipline at Atlantic Cape and then enroll in this second associate's degree program, where they will complete an additional 30 credits in the chosen discipline track.  All 90 credits earned at Atlantic Cape will be transferred towards a baccalaureate degree at a partner college or university.

This is a highly customizable degree program to enable our students to complete their third year toward a bachelor's degree at the community college tuition rate.
