If your goal is to earn a bachelor’s degree, start with an AA. You take the same classes you would in the first two years at a four-year college or university. And in most cases, you transfer in as a junior. We have agreements with a number of state universities and area private colleges, which makes your move to the next campus easy.

Get a high-quality general education and be guided by expert instructors. These classes give you that great foundation on which you build when you transfer. And the two-year degree you earn with us will typically cost less than one year at a public or private college.
