The Human Services Associate in Applied Science-T (AAS-T) Degree is a professional-technical degree with a core of general education courses commonly accepted in transfer. In general, professional-technical degrees are not designed for transfer to other colleges or universities. This degree will articulate to the Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Behavioral Sciences at Seattle Central Community College. (Students are encouraged to check entrance requirements as they are subject to change.)
Students seeking to transfer to degree programs other than those specifically designed for the AAS-T should consider earning associate of arts or associate of science degrees, which are specifically designed for transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
