About the Transfer Studies, A.A.

Among our degrees for transfer, Anne Arundel awards a distinctive program of study called a Transfer Studies, A.A.   This degree is designed to allow students to choose an interest area or a concentration , while achieving their general education requirements .  Through this program’s electives  students have the opportunity to explore different areas of college coursework or to develop a specific course plan that will best meet their transfer goals.  It also a good choice for students who are not yet sure that they want to transfer immediately.  It allows students to obtain a well-rounded Associates of Arts degree. Students can use this associate’s degree to pursue a career or other personal goal, but still maintain their option to transfer in the future.

AACC has resources to assist every student with a host of transfer services. In some degree areas, AACC has a formal transfer agreement with another institution or participates in special transfer advantages programs. Additionally, AACC adheres to the Maryland State transfer policy (Title 13B ), which sets criteria to help students have a smooth transition from a community college to a baccalaureate degree-granting institution within our state. Students planning to transfer to another institution should explore these resources and more on AACC’s Transfer Services page.  Our Academic Advising department is always available to help students in understanding all of these transfer resources, as well as how to plan a program of study and select courses for the best transfer.
