What is the difference between the AAS and AS degrees?
SLCC offers both an AAS (Associate of Applied Science) degree in Nursing and the AS (Associate of Science) in Health Science, with a nursing option. • The AAS is generally intended for those planning to enter the job market without advancing their degree. • The AS degree in Health Science, with a nursing option requires additional general education requirements and is designed for students intending to transfer to a 4 year institution with plans to complete a Bachelor’s degree.
