Associate in Applied Science-Transfer Degrees

Associate 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.
