Program Maps

Program Maps provide students with guides to finish their degrees in a timely manner. For the Associate in Arts (AA) Degree, Program Maps are provided for the most common transfer intents. These maps list the courses students must complete to earn the AA and be ready to transfer to a bachelor’s degree program. For Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS), and Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees and certificate programs, Program Maps list the courses students must complete to earn the degree and be ready to enter the workforce.
