Associate in Science-Transfer to Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering Track 2/MRP

If you love solving problems and helping people, bioengineering or chemical engineering may be the right path for you. The AS-T Track 2/MRP degree in Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering is a 95-credit specialized transfer degree designed to prepare students for admission with junior status standing into bioengineering and chemical engineering programs at participating baccalaureate institutions.

Requirements

Importance of Advising. Advising is an important part of completing a degree. Each student should meet with an advisor as early as possible. Students are responsible for checking the transfer requirements of the college or university they plan to attend; advisors can help with this.

General Requirements

95 Credits Total: Complete at least 95 credits of courses numbered 100 or higher
2.0+ Cumulative GPA: Earn at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA
- Note: Some Engineering programs require a higher cumulative GPA and/or a higher GPA in specific courses.
25% of Total Credits at Highline: Complete at least 25% of your total credits at Highline. This is the “Residency” requirement.
75+ Credits Fully Transferable: At least 75 credits must be designated as fully transferable. All Distribution Area and PE Activity courses are fully transferable.
Maximum 15 Credits Restricted: Courses that are not fully transferable are called “restricted.” Students can use no more than 15 restricted credits for their degree. Restricted courses include most Professional-Technical courses, College Studies, PE Activity courses, independent studies, credit by examination, military experience credit, CLEP and other nontraditional credit. AP courses are generally not restricted.
Maximum 15 Credits CR/NC: You can choose to have a course graded as CR/NC, but no more than 15 credits of CR/NC courses can apply to your degree.
