The Associate of Science (AS) in Engineering degree is designed for students who are planning to transfer to a bachelor's degree program in engineering.  Students who follow the AS Engineering degree plan choose from a number of different schools and a number of different engineering programs to complete their bachelor's degree. 

 

The entry requirements for each engineering program are very specific.  In some cases, it may be to your advantage to take some classes at Highline, but transfer before obtaining the AS degree.  In other cases, the AS degree offers significant advantages.  Please consult an engineering advisor.

 

Transferring

Highline engineering students have completed bachelor's degrees at many different colleges and universities.  However, the majority of our students transfer to the University of Washington (UW), Washington State University (WSU) and Seattle University.  We provide information about transfer options to these 4-year schools on this site and your advisor can assist you with these and others. We strongly encourage you to set up an appointment with an advisor early in your decision process.

Important Highline Class Information

Many classes have prerequisites and are offered only once or twice a year.  Please check course prerequisites and planned course offerings when developing a class plan.   Course prerequisites may be found in the college catalog.  We recommend that you map out your entire Highline program with an advisor.

Graduation

You do not automatically receive an Associate of Science degree after completing the appropriate classes.  You must apply for the degree.  Graduation applications can be found downstairs in Building 6, close to the Cashier’s office.  There is a fee that needs to be paid to the Cashier as you submit the completed form.  After you have turned in your application, a folder with your transcript will be sent to the department for review.  Please apply for graduation TWO QUARTERS BEFORE you intend to graduate.
