Transfer Tip
As a community college student, it is important to understand that there are various types of college credit. Academic transfer courses are the common courses which transfer to most public universities.
Workforce education courses, on the other hand, are designed to give you skills for immediate employment; most of these courses may not transfer to universities.
Workforce continuing education courses are also technical in nature, but they do not result in college credit.
If you are a degree-seeking student, the Associate of Arts, Associate of Arts in Teaching, and Associate of Science (AA, AAT, and AS) degrees are designed to transfer. The Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree programs contain some academic transfer courses in additional to technical courses which may transfer to certain kinds of applied bachelor’s degrees (BAAS or BAT), and in some cases transfer into certain academic bachelor’s degrees.
An academic advisor can help you identify courses and programs which will work best to meet your transfer goals.
