AA Transfer Curriculum at Northland College

Is anyone familiar with the AA transfer curriculum at Northland College? I'm curious about which courses are essential and how they transfer to a bachelor's program later. Any advice would be awesome!

Most colleges have established agreements with partner institutions that allow students to transfer associate degree credits to a bachelor's degree program. This system ensures a seamless transition, offering students the opportunity to complete their lower-division coursework at a community college before transferring to a four-year institution for upper-division coursework.

At Northland College, as with most institutions, the Associate of Arts (AA) Transfer Curriculum serves as the foundation for a variety of baccalaureate degrees and is designed to meet the general education requirements for transfer at four-year institutions. Essential courses usually include a mix of general, humanities, social science, and science classes.

The specifics, however, would largely depend on the four-year program you're eyeing and the school you plan to transfer to as they may have specific course requirements. For instance, a Computer Science program may expect you to have taken introductory computer science and math courses, while other degrees might require specific classes in their respective fields.

My suggestion is to identify your intended bachelor's degree program and the school you want to attend before narrowing down your coursework. Once you've identified your target program, reach out to an academic advisor both from Northland College and your target four-year institution. They can provide guidance on both course selection and transfer processes to ensure that you're taking classes that will benefit your future academic plans.
