Undeclared Transfer Major - Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT)

Description

If a student plans to transfer in order to earn a bachelor's degree at another institution but has not yet declared a major, the College identifies the student as undeclared transfer. This goal aligns with the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree plan because it provides a guideline of courses that meet bachelor’s degree general education requirements at Oregon public institutions. The AAOT degree does not include all bachelor degree requirements for freshmen and sophomores; it is important for undeclared transfer students to work actively with an academic advisor to identify a specific transfer goal.

Advising Notes

Nearly all bachelor’s degrees are either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS). Students pursuing a BA usually need to complete two years of a world language (the 200-level language courses may be applied to the arts and letters requirement in discipline studies). Students pursuing a BS should consider taking more math and science courses. Students should refer to the transfer institution's degree requirements for details.

Performance Standards

  • Academic Requirements:
    • Students must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA to earn a COCC certificate or degree.
      • All courses in the program must be completed with a grade of C or higher.
