Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree Requirements

The AAOT degree is an agreement between the Oregon University System and Oregon’s community colleges to provide transfer of community college coursework to a state four-year institution (Oregon State University, University of Oregon, Eastern Oregon State University, Portland State University, Southern Oregon State University, Western Oregon University and Oregon Institute of Technology) as well as other community colleges. Completing this degree can lead to junior standing upon transfer but does not guarantee automatic admission by the college or university. The AAOT is recognized by the colleges and universities as meeting institutional lower-division general education requirements but not necessarily school, department or major requirements with regard to courses or GPA.
