Community Colleges
Community Colleges in Washington State offer a variety of educational options for students.  These options include: Occupational Specific Certificates and  Degrees (most of the credits do not transfer to a college or university) OR an Associate Transfer Degree for those students who will transfer to a four year college or university.  The Transfer Degree is a liberal arts parallel program that is equivalent to the first 2 years of a 4 year college curriculum. 

If you plan to attend a community college to take Occupational Specific Courses you should follow the same helpful information that is provided for Vocational Education.

  3. Write directly to the institute for an application form.  (Return to Career Center with the application if you need assistance filling it out).
  4. You must indicate that you intend to pursue a Transfer Degree.
