The A.S. degree program is designed to get you ready for a career, but in some cases such as nursing, may transfer to a bachelor’s program. A.S. programs are a good balance of general education coursework and hands-on training with the end goal of preparing you to enter the workforce with a competitive skill set.
A bachelor's degree is the highest degree you can achieve in undergraduate education. For most, a bachelor's degree at SF is the next step after obtaining an A.A. or an A.S. degree. It allows students to continue to build skills and advance in a career field.
