DCCC's Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in General Education, and Associate in Fine Arts degree programs provide transfer options for students whose ultimate goal is to pursue a baccalaureate degree at senior institutions. The Associate in General Education draws upon courses in the A.A. and A.S. degree programs and allows students a great deal of flexibility in selecting CAA courses as they build an inter-disciplinary degree path.
The college transfer degree programs are also considered a pre-employment credential by an increasing number of employers. Many employers view associate degree programs as essential preparation for today's competitive, global workforce.
During the first two years of a liberal arts or science and mathematics baccalaureate program, students take courses in communication arts, humanities, foreign language study, social sciences, science, and mathematics; in addition, they begin specialized work in their own particular fields of interest. Davidson County Community College provides quality instruction to facilitate transfer to senior institutions.
In the A.A. and A.S. degree programs, students may choose a course of study equivalent to the first two years of the four-year college or university. By completing 64 semester hours of prescribed credit work with an average grade of "C" or better, students qualify for an associate degree and should then be able to transfer to a senior institution with junior year status.
The Associate in General Education affords students more flexibility as they align their first two years with the university of their choice. The A.G.E. option works well for students who may have already met some of the minimum admission requirements of their university. It is also a good option for adults in transition who find that some admissions requirements are not applicable to them.
DCCC provides a comprehensive program of professional and educational counseling and advising to guide students in planning acceptable programs for transfer to senior colleges or universities. Transfer students should always consult the catalog of the institution to which they plan to transfer.
