I'm trying to map out my academic path and heard about the general transfer degree. If anyone knows what Clackamas Community College offers in terms of this type of degree, I'd love to hear more details.
Yes, Clackamas Community College does offer a variety of general transfer degrees. For instance, they offer the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree and the Associate of Science Oregon Transfer - Business (ASOT-Business) degree. These degrees are designed to fulfill foundational general education requirements, thus enabling students to transfer to a four-year college or university within Oregon with junior standing.
These programs allow you to complete your first two years of college at Clackamas Community College and then transfer directly to a four-year institution. The courses you would be taking are considered to be equivalent to those taken in the first two years at the university.
Do keep in mind that while these degrees provide a well-rounded education, if you know what you want to major in at a four-year school, it might be better to tailor your coursework towards prerequisites for that major. Be sure to talk with an academic advisor to map out the best course of study for your individual needs and transfer aspirations.
