Overview and Degree Map
Associate of Science (AS)
The Associate of Science Oregon Transfer degree is for students who are interested in transferring to a four-year degree program at an Oregon public university. You have more freedom in choosing courses than in the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree. It is not guaranteed that you will have completed all of the General Education requirements for the university.
Visit a TBCC career education advisor and also talk to an advisor at the university where you plan to transfer. The university advisor will be able to tell you about the requirements for the university.
