Transfer Degrees
Completing a transfer program at Edmonds Community College gives you a tremendous advantage as you work toward a bachelor’s degree. Some four-year schools, such as the University of Washington, give priority admissions to students with a two-year transfer degree. Edmonds Community College offers you several opportunities to move into a bachelor’s degree program.
Associate in Arts DegreesAssociate in Arts degrees are designed to provide students with a broad background during their first and second year of study so that they can transfer to a four-year school with standing as a junior. Our degrees follow guidelines set by the state’s Intercollege Relations Commission. Our associate degree curriculum is designed to give students a general education that transfers to four-year universities for bachelor’s degrees.
Associate in Science-Transfer DegreesAssociate in Science-Transfer degrees are designed to prepare science and engineering majors for transfer to a four-year school with standing as a junior. All of our Associate in Science-Transfer degrees adhere to guidelines developed under the guidance of the Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. Most coursework is in mathematics, science, and engineering, but the curriculum includes additional general education requirements.
Major Related ProgramsMajor Related Program (MRP) pathways are transfer associate pathways outlining the appropriate courses in order for students to be well prepared to enter a major upon transfer. Major Related Program (MRP) pathways follow one of the two Washington statewide transfer agreements: the Associate in Arts DTA format or the Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T) format.
Associate in Applied Science-Transfer DegreesAssociate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degrees are built upon the technical courses required for job preparation; however, they also include a college-level general education component, a common structure for all such degrees. The general education courses for the degrees are drawn from the distribution requirements lists for the Associate in Arts or the Associate in Science-Transfer degrees. AAS-T programs are designed to prepare graduates for jobs requiring two years of training and for bachelor’s programs that accept AAS-T degrees.
