DEGREE PROGRAMS OFFERED

Transfer programs, which include Associate in Arts (A.A.) and Associate in Science (A.S.) degrees, are designed to follow a course of study that corresponds to freshman and sophomore offerings at most colleges and universities, and are designed for students planning to transfer into baccalaureate degree programs. Most of these programs have articulation agreements with senior colleges. Students are strongly encouraged to read these agreements on the Transfer Center web site as early as possible.

Associate in Science Degree (A.S.)

Career programs, or programs that result in an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree, emphasize training needed to enter a chosen field of employment and are designed for students planning to begin a career immediately after receiving their associate degree. Although career curricula are not primarily designed to prepare students for transfer to senior institutions, many career graduates decide to continue their studies and earn the baccalaureate. Some career programs have articulation agreements with senior colleges. Students are encouraged to check with the appropriate department for more information.
