Transfer degrees
If you're thinking about starting your four-year education at CCC, you're making a smart choice! You can save thousands of dollars on your education while taking classes that can transfer to another college or university.
More and more students are discovering the best place to begin a bachelor's degree is at a community college. Research shows that community college transfer students are equally if not more likely to graduate than other students, including at the most selective universities. Our transfer degrees can fit seamlessly with many four-year degree paths beyond Clackamas. CCC students transfer to a number of in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities, including public and private schools.
Students are highly encouraged to meet with an advisor from both their community college and their intended university to ensure efficiency and course relevance for any particular program and degree.

Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT)
The AAOT is a two-year degree that is designed for students intending to transfer to a four-year college or university and pursuing upper division baccalaureate courses. CCC students who have earned an AAOT degree will be eligible for junior standing for the purposes of registration at any of the Oregon public universities.
Associate of Arts Transfer (AAT)
An Associate of Arts Transfer (AAT) degree is a lower division major-specific undergraduate award issued by a community college that indicates satisfactory completion of a course of study that is intended to prepare students for transfer to a public university in Oregon and have junior standing in a specific Bachelor of Arts degree program.
The classes, outcomes and completion standards for the major-specific Associate Transfer degrees are defined by a statewide memorandum of understanding between participating community colleges and public universities. In majors where junior standing within 90 credits is not possible, students who complete an Associate of Arts Transfer degree will have equivalent status to students who started at a public university in the same major. Memoranda of understanding are approved by the Commission and will be published on the HECC website.
Associate of Science Transfer (AST)
An Associate of Science Transfer (AST) degree is a lower division major-specific undergraduate award issued by a community college that indicates satisfactory completion of a course of study that is intended to prepare students for transfer to a public university in Oregon and have junior standing in a specific Bachelor of Science degree program.
