Students who choose to fulfill the following degree requirements will be eligible to receive the Associate of Science Degree. The Associate of Science Degree program is normally utilized by those students planning to transfer to a four-year institution at the completion of two years at Otero Junior College in order to complete their Bachelor of Science Degree.
Minimum Competency Standards for Program Admission:
Students desiring to enroll in the Associate of Science degree program must meet or exceed the following entrance examination scores:
Otero Junior College uses the results of a basic skills assessment test (Accuplacer) to direct students into appropriate English, reading and mathematics courses and to advise students in the selection of other courses. Prior to enrollment, all new students must complete an assessment. Research on Colorado's basic skills assessment programs indicates that new students who follow assessment-related advice have a higher rate of academic success.
Colorado law now mandates that students who do not have the minimum test scores must complete the required remedial cousework. Please refer to information in the Mandatory Basic Skills Assessment and Placement section of this catalog for exemptions to the BSAT test.
The listing of a course or program in this or any other college publication does not constitute a guarantee, nor contract, that the particular course or program will be offered during the time listed. All courses or programs are subject to scheduling changes or cancellations. Every effort to inform students of such changes and/or cancellations will be made.
