Associate in Applied Science–T – Adminstration of Criminal Justice
90 Applicable College Level Quarter Credits
The Associate in Applied Science-T is not designed to transfer universally, but rather it is a dual purpose degree designed to prepare students for work and to transfer to a limited number of degree programs at some baccalaureate institutions. AAS-T degrees are technical in nature and the general education courses, though the same as general education courses included in universally transferable degrees, are fewer than in the Associate of Arts and Sciences or the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA). Programs that offer this degree option will have articulated a transfer agreement with one or more four-year institutions. This degree transfers to the University of Phoenix.
Basic Requirements
All transfer degrees, have basic requirements for graduation:
- Completion of 90 applicable college level quarter credit hours.
- BCC cumulative GPA must be a minimum of 2.00 (Note: A higher admissions GPA may be required by some receiving institutions).
- Credits and grades transferred to BCC from other colleges and universities are not included in the calculation of the cumulative GPA for graduation.
- Transfer credits with less than a “D” grade are not counted to satisfy a graduation requirement.
- At least 30 of the 90 quarter credits for a degree must be completed in residence at BCC
