Transferring with an Associate of Science Degree (AS)

Students transferring with an AS degree DO NOT automatically meet the general education course requirements. AS applicants will have credits evaluated as part of the admission process on a course-by-course basis. There is also the option of transferring with the AS and pursing the Bachelor of Science in Applied Science, which would guarantee the transfer of credits.

Out-of-State Transfer

Students transferring from an out-of-state institution will have their credentials reviewed to assess transferable credit. An AA degree from out of state does not guarantee transfer of credit automatically. Somce courses from out-of-state institutions that have been evaluated previously may be part of our articulation catalog, and transfer in seamlessly.
