Degrees and certificates

The two-year Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer is a general transfer degree. Successful completion of the AAOT will give you junior-level standing at a university.

There are two versions of the ASOT. You can focus on business or computer science. Both degrees will prepare you for a bachelor’s degree at one of Oregon’s public universities. Successful completion of the ASOT will give you junior-level standing at a university.

The Associate of Science two-year degree has both general education and discipline-specific requirements and isn’t just for science programs. It is designed for students planning to transfer to a public Oregon university. Some of the Associate of Science degrees CCC offers include biology, computer science, engineering, geology, horticulture, music and English. 

The AGS is a two-year degree that allows students to take a broad range of college-level coursework to meet degree requirements. If you choose this “build-your-own” degree and intend to transfer to a four-year university, you will need to work closely with a CCC advisor.

If your goal is to be prepared for the workforce within one year, a Certificate of Completion is a great place to start. A certificate in one of CCC’s career technical fields can provide you with the hands-on experience needed for an entry-level job in your field. Certificates of Completion (CC) require you to complete a minimum of 45 credits.

Many of our certificate programs also satisfy first-year requirements or about half of an Associate of Applied Science degree. So, if you earn a certificate, work for a while and want to return to CCC to earn your associate’s degree, you’ll be halfway there.

All of CCC’s AAS degrees are designed to be completed in two years. When you graduate, you’re ready to enter the workforce. Our AAS degrees include an on-the-job training requirement – called the Cooperative Work Experience – which will give you practical experience in your chosen career field while also earning college credit.
