CSCI 101, CIS 147 or courses transferred in from another NDUS Institution that are listed as both general education and digital literacy may satisfy both requirements upon successful completion.

By following the curricula outlined you can earn an Associate in Science (AS) or Associate in Arts (AA) degree before transferring; however, this is not a two-year Vet-Tech degree. It is important to identify an appropriate major early in your college career. There are several reasons for committing to a degree-granting program. Once a major is decided, the degree plan for that degree should be followed. Although the pre-veterinary medicine requirements can be met in three years, many veterinary colleges give extra consideration for a degree when you apply.
