Degree Paths
AAS Degrees
- are two-year degree plans
- lead directly into the workforce
- focus on core subject content
- include hands-on application of core content
- require only five general education courses (Communication, Humanities/Fine Arts, Social/Behavioral Sciences, Natural Sciences/Mathematics)
- requires non-calculus based math courses
Articulation Agreements
- are two-year degree plans
- are directed toward specific senior institutions
- are a combination of the AAS Degree and Bachelor Degree tracks
- allow transfer credit for many core technical-level courses
- allow substitution of transfer-level courses for technical-level requirements:
- ENG 111 instead of ENG 110
- MAT 171 instead of MAT 110 or MAT 121
- graduates are employable upon completion
- graduates have a university transfer plan
- employers typically offer tuition assistance programs for employees who want to pursue additional education
Articulation agreement information is continually updated at
AA and AS Degrees
- designed for transfer to senior institutions to complete a bachelor’s degree
- first two years are mostly general education classes
- entry into the workforce is delayed
- require higher-level math (pre-calculus and calculus)
- more theory than hands-on experience
- the typical AET path is the Associate in Engineering (AE) Degree.

Some institutions, such as UNC-Charlotte and Appalachian State University, offer AAS transfer options but have not signed formal articulation agreements.
