Current Status

The introduction to the DMACC description of the Associate in Science (AS) degree states:

The Associate of Science provides the courses of study equivalent to those offered to freshman and sophomore-level students pursuing majors in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics at any four-year college/university. If students receive the AS from DMACC, this degree, in most cases, will meet the lower division requirements of four-year colleges/universities and will admit them to junior status level for a Bachelor of Science degree. Students should contact the desired four-year institution to inquire about course and degree recommendations. [underlining added]

Update on the Status Report

In recent weeks, I have talked to STEM faculty at Grinnell, most chairs.

• What students should take at DMACC
• What students can expect if they transfer to Grinnell with each STEM major
• To the extent possible, what might their schedule look like for 2-3 years, if they came to Grinnell

Draft flyer available

Flyer is "Unofficial" and written carefully as not setting policy

• Advice from STEM faculty
• Careful statements about talking to Admission, Grinnell's Registrar, and faculty for detailed advice.

No policy changes ⇒ no approvals needed (nothing to approve)
