Degrees and Certificates
Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree
Students earning an Associate of Arts degree from a community college will have earned credit or demonstrated proficiency in the requirements listed for that college. The Oregon University System schools will accept this degree as meeting institutional lower division, general education requirements, but not necessarily school, department, or major requirements with regard to course or grade point average.
Currently, Lane Community College in Eugene, Portland Community College in Portland, and Chemeketa Community College in Salem offer an AAOT degree entirely by distance education.
Associate of Applied Science Degree
This degree is awarded to those students who have completed the requirements of a specified, two-year professional-technical (non-transfer) program. Chemeketa Community College offers this program in the fire protection and hospitality & tourism management.
Associate of General Studies Degree
This degree addresses the needs of students who are not seeking an Oregon Associate of Arts transfer degree or the specific program requirements of an Associate of Applied Science degree. The degree will allow a student to combine a broad core of basic courses with a program of study that may be tailored to specific academic or professional goals. Currently, Chemeketa Community College is the only college offering this program via distance education.
