Program Overview

Many institutions accept all or part of the course work toward a bachelor’s degree. Students intending to transfer credits should contact both their advisor and the transfer institution to learn about any policies and restrictions.

The Associate’s of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree is not designed to transfer. Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) credit may be considered based on each student’s work experience. Generally, PLA credit is applied only to the AAS degree program. PLA credit is awarded on a case-by-case basis after a department designee reviews work experience for eligibility. There is no guarantee PLA credit will be granted for every application. 

If you want to be considered for PLA credit, you should visit the PLA Information webpage. Then, submit the requested information before completing your second semester of course work.
