Our Associate and Science (AS) two-year degree ranges from 60 to 64 transferable credits.
That means that once you graduate from Lawson State, you will be able to enter your
four-year college of choice as a junior and secure a 4-year degree. To increase your
earning power and career possibilities, many Natural Science students continue their
education and get their Masters degrees and Doctorate and Medical degrees in the select
majors.
All Science AS degrees are backed and protected by Alabama Transfers (Learn More).

Any area of concentration you select, you can take the classes here at Lawson State or complete the bulk of your classes here, transfer early and complete a Reverse Transfer to complete your studies at the four-year college. Students graduating from Lawson's Natural Science Department are awarded with Associate 2-year degrees--an Associate in Science. Credits awarded (up to 64) do transfer to 4-year colleges. NOTE: Natural Science majors need a transfer plan to complete their 4-year degree and beyond. Secure your guide via Alabama Transfers.
*Note: Some specialized career pathways (Areas of Concentration) may not be listed as part of Lawson State's official catalog. However, if the pathway is part of Alabama Transfer, then the College will honor your path. In such cases, though, you may have to transfer early to complete more specialized courses (under Area V in your degree plan). You can still be awarded your Lawson State degree via the Reverse Transfer option once those courses have been completed. For more information, contact Lawson's Records Office.
