AAS Transfer Plans
Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degrees completed at a North Carolina Community College are not necessarily designed to transfer to four-year institutions. However, ECU believes every NCCCS student should have the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Many of our majors already have Bi-lateral agreements with specific community colleges or other AAS transfer pathways offering smoother transfer to ECU. You can explore those below.
For programs without bi-lateral agreements or pathways, we’ve put together some example plans.
AAS degrees are not uniform from college to college; therefore, these plans may not align exactly with your current program of study at your community college but can show you how close you are to a bachelor’s degree with ECU.
Example AAS Transfer Plans
- Accounting & Finance, AAS to Accounting, BSBA
- Human Services Technology, AAS to Social Work, BSW
- Interior Design, AAS to Interior Design, BS *
- Paralegal Technology, AAS to Political Science, BS
*Interior Design, AAS students may also pursue the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology.
Check back as we continue to create new AAS Transfer plans, or explore how close you are to a degree with ECU through the ECU Credit Connector (launching June 1st).
