Note: Students are expected to ensure their program of study is always accurate in Banner Self Service. If the program of study has changed or is inaccurate, it must be updated by submitting a Change of Program Request form via the Student Records-Forms webpage.

Associate in Arts/Associate in Science Degrees

The Associate in Arts (AA) and the Associate in Science (AS) degrees are primarily transfer degrees designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree. Students completing these degrees will also satisfy the Michigan Transfer Agreement between the majority of two-year and four-year institutions in Michigan.

General education and subject area requirements vary from one college or university to another. Students should contact the school to which they may transfer for specific transfer institution requirements (See Transfer Information for a list of institutions for which transfer guides are available.)

Applied Degrees and Certificates

The associate degree in applied arts, associate degree in applied science, associate degree in business, and certificates are designed primarily for students who seek education and the acquisition of skills needed to enter the job market or to advance their current careers. Not all courses in these programs transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an academic advisor before enrolling in any course.
