There are so many fantastic reasons to choose IAC and pursue an Associate of Science degree. There is no place in the world like Fairbanks, Alaska, and there is no comparison to the education, research opportunities, and community that you will find here.

About our Program

The Associate of Science Degree (AS degree) is a two-year program designed to complete the major core requirements of a Bachelor of Science Degree (BS degree). It is a broad-based course of study which includes English, communication, math, science, and humanity course requirements. The minimum requirements for the degree are 60 credits. All of the concentration electives for this course of study are math and science-based classes.

An Associate of Science degree is especially appealing to students who intend to transfer to another college after their two-year program has ended. An A.S. degree prepares students to pursue Bachelor's Degrees in medical and nursing fields, math, engineering, biological studies, or any science-oriented field.

Why take the ALEKS PPL test?

Unless you have previously completed a mathematics or statistics course at UA or another

Unless you have previously completed a mathematics or statistics course at UA or another college or university, you must take the ALEKS PPL test to be placed into the correct course in mathematics, statistics, and other quantitative subjects. If you have credit for a mathematics or statistics course already, check Exceptions.  *Note* The test is free!

What are the steps?
