Ignash, Jan M.; Kotun, David
Journal of Applied Research in the Community College, v12 n2 p109-120 Spr 2005
This article presents the results of a spring 2004 survey of state higher education agency officials on the current status of the transferability of two-year degree occupational programs, designated as the AAS degree in most states. Included in the discussion is the issue of transferable general education in these degree programs, the development of three distinct types of designated bachelor's degrees to articulate specifically with the AAS degree, a list of the occupational fields for which articulation agreements are more typically developed, and common problems and some solutions for successful occupational program transfer.
