Associate in Arts and Sciences (DTA
prepares students who wish to complete their first two years of general education requirements and prerequisites prior to transferring to a university toward a bachelor’s degree in Nursing.
TheAssociateinAppliedScience-
Transfer(AAS-T)is designed in coordination with a university and enables students to use a designated technical program toward a specific university major, such as computer information systems. ● Aviation Maintenance Technology. ● Criminal Justice ● Fire Science ● Information Technology ● Medical Assistant ● Nursing AssociateinGeneralStudies(AGS) is awarded for completion of a program of study in general education. AssociateinFineArts(AFA) is awarded for completion of course work in the interdisciplinary Arts. Areas of emphasis are Graphic Design, Photography, Studio Arts, and Written Arts.

RequirementsforAASDegree(DTA)
Everett Community College has agreements with most four-year colleges and universities in the state for direct transfer of EvCC students under guidelines developed by the Inter-College Relations Commission of the Washington Council on High School-College Relations. Under these agreements EvCC’s Associate in Arts and Sciences degree, when earned under the DTA, may be used to satisfy the lower division general education requirements of the four-year colleges and universities. A comparable agreement has also been negotiated with several universities in Oregon. Accepting the AAS-DTA are: Argosy University, Bastyr University, Central Washington University, City University, Eastern Oregon University, Eastern Washington University, Evergreen State College, Gonzaga University, Heritage University, Northwest University, Oregon State University, Pacific Lutheran University, Portland State University, Seattle Pacific University, Seattle University, St. Martin’s University, Trinity Lutheran, University of Oregon, University of Washington, Washington State University, Western Washington University, and Whitworth College.
This degree fulfills only lower-division general university requirements. Most professional programs have additional course requirements and higher GPA requirements for admission. Students intending to major in professional programs such as business, engineering, education, nursing, sciences, and physical therapy, for example, should consult the appropriate curriculum guide and the catalog of the four-year school for special admission or graduation requirements. Some colleges and universities have imposed special requirements in addition to the Direct Transfer Degree. The following list is probably not complete. Students intending to transfer to a specific college or university should read their catalog carefully and consult with the undergraduate admissions office well in advance of transferring. 1. Students should select courses within the AAS-DTA that prepare them for their major. For some universities this will provide an added edge if admission is very competitive. 2. Students intending to transfer to the University of Washington should be aware that additional general education requirements may be imposed at the time of transfer.
3. Students are encouraged to check with the receiving institution for current GPA and foreign language admission requirements. 4. Additional theology/philosophy courses are required for graduation by Gonzaga University, Northwest University, Pacific Lutheran University, Saint Martin’s University, Seattle Pacific University, Seattle University, and Whitworth College. Hope International University, the University of Maryland University College, Minot State University (ND), the University of Phoenix, Capella University, Temple University –Japan, Kaplan University, and Fort Hays University also provide for special transfer arrangements for students with the AAS –DTA.
Students who transfer without the degree will have their courses evaluated for satisfaction of general education distribution and elective requirements on a course-by-course basis according to the policy of the four-year college or university. Recognition of non-traditionally graded courses, CLEP credits, and equivalency credits varies by each four-year college and university. Students must satisfy all requirements described above in Graduation Requirements for all certificates and degrees. Direct Transfer degrees require successful completion of at least 90 applicable credits with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0, following the requirements below.
● At least 60 quarter credits must be from courses listed in the four distribution areas: Basic Skills – 15 minimum; Humanities – 15 minimum; Social Sciences – 15 minimum; and Natural Sciences –15 minimum. No more than 15 credits may be from restricted electives. Courses may be applied toward only one distribution area, even if listed as usable in more than one area.
● Courses must be completed with a grade of ‘D’ or above ● Common Course Numbers are represented with an ampersand (&) next to the number. Common
Course Numbers (CCN &) are common only in the Washington community and technical college system, not necessarily with universities. An “&” does not indicate any extraordinary transferability to a university. ● No more than 10 credits in any one discipline may be applied to the distribution areas. For example, a student who takes a History as a
Humanities and a History as a
Social Science has met the maximum credits for History in the distribution.
I.COMPLETION of a College Success Course, 2 credits. Most students will take COLL 101 to meet this requirement. Some majors, such as Engineering, offer a major-specific version of the course (ex. ENGR 101), which may also be used to meet the requirement II.COMPLETION of a Diversity Course, 5 credits. Diversity courses focus on perspectives related to diversity in our society. Courses are listed in the Class Schedule with a D in the course number, such as ENGL 120D or ANTH& 206D. They are typically found in the areas of Communications, Humanities, Social Sciences and Transfer Electives. A “D” course may count toward one of the requirements listed below, as well as meet the Diversity Course requirement. Please consult with your advisor.
Select 5 credits from the following: English &101 or &101D (required) Plus 5 additional credits from: ● Anthropology: &206D (beginning Fall 2013) ● English: &102, &102D, 103, 105, 211, &230, &235 ● Communication Studies: &220, 223
