Associate of Science Degree
The Health Science AS is designed to allow the student seeking an advanced degree in a healthcare field to transfer to a four-year institution for program completion. The goal of this program is to encourage the development of a strong curricular foundation in life science while allowing the student to explore areas of interest more deeply through the selection of elective courses. The CWC nursing student working toward a baccalaureate degree in nursing at the University of Wyoming benefits from this program of study, as does the student interested in the healthcare field who is unsure of a particular area of focus. The student is strongly encouraged to meet with an academic or faculty advisor when selecting course electives.
