A. Transfer programs are designed for students to take general education courses (math, science, English, humanities, etc.) plus courses in the area of their major totaling approximately 60 credit hours. Students work toward an Associates of Arts (AA), Associates of Science (AS) or an Associates of General Studies (AGS) degree, then transfer that degree or those courses to a four-year college or university to complete the remainder of their Bachelor’s degree. Career/Technical programs are designed for students to take courses specific to their interests and work toward an Associates of Applied Science degree (AAS, applies directly to the field). This degree is very specific and the program in its entirety does not transfer,although some courses within the program transfer easily.
