Associate of Science – Engineering

Overview

The Associate of Science – Engineering degree will prepare you to succeed in a bachelor’s engineering program of your choice. You will focus on the appropriate math, science and introductory engineering coursework in a cost-effective, highly personalized environment.

As a student in this program, you will also receive individualized academic advising to help you transition into a four-year engineering program. Completion of the A.S. degree satisfies University Studies requirements at UW-Superior and other Universities of Wisconsin institutions.

Partnership with UW-Platteville

UW-Superior has partnered with the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in two ways:

1. You may take select first and second-year engineering courses online from UW-Platteville engineering professors.
2. Once you complete the A.S. in Engineering at UW-Superior, you may take advantage of the seamless transfer path to UW-Platteville to finish your bachelor’s degree, typically in two years. Areas of study at UW-Platteville include:
   • Mechanical engineering
   • Electrical engineering
   • Industrial and systems engineering

Academic advisors will help you work toward an associate’s degree in engineering at UW-Superior while meeting the transfer requirements for UW-Platteville or another engineering school of your choice.

Partnership with the University of Minnesota Duluth

As a student at UW-Superior, you have the option to take introductory engineering courses at the University of Minnesota Duluth as part of your UWS tuition through our cross-registration agreement. If you are interested in chemical engineering, see our chemistry and chemical engineering dual degree program in partnership with UMD.
