Associate’s Degree vs.
Applied Bachelor’s Degree?
4-year Degree at a 2-year
College (Saves
!)
• An Applied Baccalaureate (Bachelor's) Degree
builds on the education and training from a
two-year technical Associate Degree.
Transferring to a 4-year
College/University?
Students can begin their studies at a Community
College and then TRANSFER to a 4-year college:
1. 1 - 39 credits = take the SAT/ACT for college admission.
(No guarantee that all credits will transfer.)
2. 40 credits or more = do NOT need to take the SAT/ACT
(No guarantee that all credits will transfer.)
3. Work with your CC counselor/advisor to complete a
DIRECT TRANSFER AGREEMENT process (IF possible) so all
credits will transfer!

degree and prep for a career?!?
