A motion to change the wording for the AS degree wording was made by Marcy

Current wording: "The Associate in Science Degree is primarily oriented to occupational programs and is designed and intended for those who seek employment with a two-year degree. In some majors, a student may choose to earn either an
Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science Degree."

Proposed wording:

"The Associate in Science Degree is oriented to occupational programs (for those who seek employment with a two-year degree), and those who are in natural, physical, and applied science majors. For a detailed list of relevant transfer majors, see the chart of degrees and certificates at the end of this catalog section. In some majors, a student may choose to earn either an Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science Degree."

A proposal to make transferable AS degrees for some science degrees was brought before the council. The proposal was approved.
