The Associate of Arts/Transfer Program is a broad, versatile curriculum of first- and second-year courses. Students may enroll either full time or part time, and may attend distance education, daytime classes, or evening classes. The Associate of Arts degree is designed to be as uniform as possible with similar degrees offered at Oregon community colleges. Any student who holds an Oregon Institute of Technology Associate of Arts degree, as listed in this section under "General Requirements for the Associate of Arts Degree," will have met the lower-division general education requirements of all institutions in the OUS system. Courses taken at Oregon community colleges should transfer easily into the OIT program, and the OIT degree should transfer quite easily into degree programs at other OUS colleges and universities. Student options: Students may work toward a more specialized version of the Associate of Arts degree by concentrating all elective credit hours in a particular field of study, such as Accounting, Applied Psychology, Communication Studies, Natural Sciences, Math, or one of the health or engineering technologies. The resulting Associate of Arts degree forms an excellent foundation for further coursework in a major area either at OIT or at another college or university. Please consult the catalog sections covering these specific subject areas for further information. Students may decide to change majors and work toward one of OIT's other degrees. Upon completing the Associate of Arts degree, students have several more options:
Continue on toward one of OIT's bachelor's degrees. Transfer the OIT associate's degree to another college or university to continue work toward a four-year degree. Take additional OIT courses at the Junior and Senior levels for advanced transfer to another college or university. Most advisors on campus can provide information concerning which upper-division OIT courses will most easily transfer to other schools. Begin a career.
