Transfer degrees are designed for students who want to complete their first two years of college work and then transfer on to a four-year institution. Our Associate in Arts degree is the primary transfer degree but there are four others: • Associate in Computer Science • Associate in Arts Teaching • Associate in Engineering • Associate in Science See an advisor for more information about transferring. Our career degree, the Associate in Applied Science (AAS), gives you technical skills for entry-level employment in the workforce. It is not designed for transfer. It is also known as a career or occupational degree. MCC currently has about 80 career programs. Although the AAS is not considered a transfer degree, we have agreements with other institutions that allow smooth transfer of credits.
